In this episode with guest host Laura Flanders, we look at how communities are working to transform their local economies by harnessing the assets that exist in their place. It’s the Kryptonite to the corporate model that extracts wealth from communities. Instead, they’re anchoring capital and resources locally to directly invest in that place and its people – from land to money and finance. We hear from Nicole Ndumele from the Center for American Progress; Mike Strode, from the Kola Nut Collaborative; and Deyanira del Río of the New Economy Project.
This is the third episode of a 4-part series produced in partnership with Laura Flanders & Friends.
