So you want to learn more about economic justice but don’t know where to start? Here are a couple of suggestions.
The work of Robert Reich. He’s a little guy who looks out for the little guy and makes the principles of a just economy easy to understand. Check out his documentary Inequality for All and his very accessible introductory book Economics in Wonderland (with cartoons). He also has many short explainer videos (with doodles) on his YouTube channel.
The Economic Policy Institute. EPI is a Washington DC think tank (Robert Reich was one of the founders) that advocates for working families. Here is a link to their policy agenda.
Dollars & Sense magazine and books. Dollars & Sense: Real World Economics is an organization that “publishes economic news and analysis, with the mission of explaining essential economic concepts by placing them in their real-world context”. In other words, the economy that happens on Main Street, not Wall Street.
Oh, and by the way, just a reminder, the stock market is not the economy. I’m still trying to find out which Indian tribe runs it. 🙂
