Economics For the People
Economics For the People takes you on a journey to explore the transformative power of economics when it is harnessed for the working classes, to advance social justice, and to create an inclusive and equitable society. It is an open invitation to participate in collectively shaping and reimagining an economy that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of the working classes, marginalized communities, and individuals of different gender expressions, sexualities, and abilities. The show features diverse voices, experiences and perspectives that often remain unheard in mainstream conversations about economics, markets and numbers.

Our December episode is dedicated to celebrating the 50th anniversary of our partners at Dollars & Sense Magazine. Dollars & Sense is a national magazine published six times per year, focusing on left-wing analysis of economic
issues for a mass audience. Their 50th anniversary edition asked five authors to imagine the US economy 50 years into the future. In our feature, we spoke with Yvonne Yen Liu about Huey P. Newton’s concept of intercommunalism and Emily Kawano about the solidarity economy. In the Dollars & Sense Debrief, Chris Sturr interviews David Bacon about what a just immigration system would look like in the future.
