Listen "Economics and Peace"
Episode Synopsis
Recently we have seen how much courage is required to advocate for peace, which is understood as a simple cessation of war and terror. Beyond this we are faced with the grand challenge of peace, of how to imagine a resilient peace, how to become articulate and effective peace workers. One area that people all over the world share as a possible field of collaboration, where we can all work for peace, is the global economy. This episode explores seven interconnected perspectives on the peace potential inherent in the global economy that grows out of an understanding of associative economics.References:“Chiemgauer Regiogeld,” December 5, 2023. https://www.chiemgauer.info/.“GLS Bank - sozial, ökologisch, nachhaltig.” Accessed December 6, 2023. https://www.gls.de/privatkunden/.Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner.
