In this episode, we explore the intersection of religion, ecology, and economics through the lens of the Wendland-Cook Program's "Liberating People and the Planet" series. We delve into how capitalism entangles communities in destructive ways and how religion might offer liberative practices to imagine a more enlivening future.

The companion book to this series has been released this Summer 2024, Liberating People, Planet, and Religion: Intersections of Ecology, Economics, and Religion (2024). Get your copy today!

Join us for a conversation titled "Decapitalizing the Means of Thriving," featuring Dr. Gabriella Lettini and Dr. Tim Van Meter. Moderated by Dr. Jeremy Posadas, this discussion addresses power dynamics in capitalist structures, the slow food movement, and cooperative economic models.
