Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly looks at the economic distribution of
risk and reward—and of conflict over the same. We begin with an article
that highlights efforts to use COVID-19 recovery funds to support economic
justice. We follow that with two articles that look at struggles over
wages—one focuses on miners, the other on nonprofit workers. Lastly, three
solidarity economy activists in a webinar conversation discuss how they are
using non-extractive forms of community finance to shift risk to those who
can afford to bear it, while ensuring that the rewards of investment and
economic development flow to low-income and BIPOC community residents.
