- Worker cooperatives and the solidarity economy
- Spirit led creative entrepreneurship
- Participatory budgeting
- Democratically governed investment funds
- Time banks
We get into capitalism 101, the limitations of Black capitalism, the myth of meritocracy, redefining success, and the role of mutualism and cooperation in our collective liberation.
