What's the Economy For, Anyway?
The Case for a Solidarity Economy

Highlander Center, TN May 29-30

We are really excited about this opportunity to work with the Highlander Research & Education Center which has a long and venerable history of bringing together generations of activists to share, learn and strategize. This regional workshop is for organizations based in the South and Appalachia that are involved in economic justice work. It is an opportunity for these activists to share their experiences and challenges. We'll draw on these discussions to raise the question, What's the economy for, anyway? We will introduce the solidarity economy as a framework that can bring together many of these struggles for a better world. The workshop will wrap up with a discussion of how to put what we've talked about into practice and to identify next steps. Support provided by the Forum on Social Wealth and the Ford Foundation

'What's the Economy For, Anyway?  

The Case for a Solidarity Economy and Social Wealth'

--An online course offered by the Center for Popular Economics, June 2 to July 10  

"The Economy" is often portrayed in the media and by politicians as a force of nature that we must adapt to or perish.  But we all make our economy tick.  Shouldn't we have a say in how it is run and to what purpose?  This online course raises the question: what purpose do we want our economy to fulfill?  We look at the emerging global solidarity economy movement and its potential to provide an alternative economic development framework.  We'll look at social wealth as a key component of the solidarity economy.  Social wealth includes natural and social resources such as the air, the care economy and knowledge.
