Listen "What is an Economy?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Carolina and Vidhya engage in dialogue with Justin Laing of Hillombo Consulting to understand the idea of an economy, which is foundational to building a solidarity economy. We delve into the way knowledge—or perhaps narrative—is produced within racial and gendered capitalism and the role evaluation plays for the owning and ruling class. We close with an invitation to imagine what knowledge work could look like, and what individual roles we each may play, in alternative economic structures. Justin can be found at www.hillombo.net, on Instagram @hillombo, and using his name on LinkedIn.Episode 1.8 TRANSCRIPTNotes hereReferences (more here)Nego Gato; Olorisha; LukumiMni Sota MakoceOjibwe Chippewa TribeAmerican Indian MovementShawnee TribeCritical PedagogyIt's the Economy, StupidSupply & DemandCentrally Planned EconomyElinor OstromAll Economies are Ultimately Human EconomiesPolitical Economy of Economic PolicyEconomy StudiesImperialism, the Highest Stage of CapitalismEurocentricityNational StruggleFeminist Economics Critique to Neo-Classical EconomicsCollaborate to Co-LiberateGopal DayaneniThere is No AlternativeClip from “Surviving Progress”Nonprofit Industrial Complex 101Practice & Prospects of Socialism in ChinaStrategic Revolutionary Thought & Legacy of Hugo ChávezAssessing the Cuban ExperienceWhat is Racial Capitalism & Why Does It Matter?Origins of the Professional-Managerial ClassCedric Robinson, Racial Capitalism & the Return of Black RadicalismSouth African Tradition of Racial CapitalismWhat is the Working Class?CapitalismWhy Do We Say that Hegel is an “Idealist”?Idealism or MaterialismDemocracy & EvaluationJohn RawlsWhat is the Capitalist Class?Marxist Theory of the StateHow America Became CapitalistOrigin of Cost–Benefit AnalysisSocial Darwinism, Race & ResearchGramsci & HegemonyTwilight of NeoliberalismCharter Schools, Market Capitalism & Obama’s Neo-liberal AgendaHow Free Market Logic Fails in SchoolingMarket Liberalism Meets Ideological ConservatismSurplusTheory of Changee·val·u·ateWhat Base & Superstructure Mean in MarxismMarx’s Theory of Class StruggleWhat Is Liberalism?Important Insights into the Problems of National Liberation & ImperialismWorking PoorHistory of the Tax-exempt SectorOn ContradictionHistorical MaterialismDialectics, Historical Materialism & Class StruggleDomenico LosurdoMarxism vs IntersectionalityScary S WordState & RevolutionDefining SocialismWhat Do We Mean by Solidarity Economy?Socialism & the Legacy of the Soviet UnionGabriel RockhillManifesto of the Communist PartyUnderstanding Left Wing Politics & CapitalismWe Didn’t Cross the BorderCatherine Liu
