Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly examines themes of repair, rebuilding, and reparations. Our first article looks at how in Puerto Rico, in the wake of Hurricane Maria and bankruptcy, community groups are seeking to create a new economy rooted in equity and powered by solar energy. Our next article offers an interview of author and philosopher Olúfemi O. Táíwò, who discusses why climate justice requires reparations. From the archive, we present an article by Trevor Smith on how reparations can both advance economic justice and heal intergenerational trauma. Finally, we feature a webinar conversation in which three worker co-op leaders discuss how to begin, at a business level, to build an economy that centers workplace democracy.
