The Common Good PodcastSimpler OneEarth LivingJubilee OneEarth Economics is not focused on just one issue, but on a worldview—a way of viewing the world and living in it. That is a strength, because we need this worldview to save us from the devastation of life happening from the practice of the MultiEarth worldview that prevails today. But worldviews are big and reach into all areas of life. That makes them challenging to describe. This worldview of OneEarth Jubilee guides us in ways similar to how Indigenous peoples have been guided to live sustainably on the Earth for millennia. The Bible also pr...

Such debt is immoral and destroys creativity to the extent that all, not just the debtor, suffer...

The Common Good PodcastSimpler OneEarth LivingWith every year that passes, evidence mounts that the current economic and political systems cannot deliver the social and ecological justice that is necessary to sustain life on our planet. Where then do we turn? Women are an obvious and undervalued source—an answer hiding in plain sight. Women are creating systems that are far more just, and far more life-giving than the ones which currently stress the planet and most people. Let me clarify one point. Today’s podcast conversation is not about women elevated to positions of leadership in male oriented paradigms. Rather, our conversation is a...

What would Maximizing Our JUSTICE Returns look like? We can contrast it with Indigenous Peoples values around money. Wealth is held collectively....there are usage rights to the Earth, not ownership as white society thinks of it. We talk about legal barriers to bringing this sort of world about, and some concrete ways that listeners can invest their own assets, and ask questions o...
