A podcast exploring our journey out of a business-as-usual economy toward justice, healing & liberation.
In this episode, Nikishka and Andrew team up to interview the cooperative economy movement elder Ed Whitfield. Ed sheds lights on the practice of “non-extractive finance” and how it is used to advance “productive justice.”
Highlights:
• Ed defines non-extractive finance and contrasting it with the business-as-usual, highly-extractive form of finance that is commonplace
• A fun deep-dive into Ed’s past that involved in radical protests on his college campus and how this was a continuation of his ancestral legacy
• Charting Ed’s journey from blue collar work to working in the world of cooperative economics and finance
• Ed shares the details of the business model of Seed Commons, a network of loan funds across the U.S.; along with a new local initiative Ed’s launching as a living example of Productive Justice
