Economy
For those asking what economy is for when life, not extraction, becomes the measure.
The Place To Stand
That an economy should not bind people to fear.That housing, health, education, food, water, care, rest, and participation are not luxuries to be earned after the economy has been satisfied.They are the foundations through which Life becomes possible.That wealth should circulate where Life is being sustained.That no system should be called successful while the people inside it are exhausted, indebted, isolated, displaced, or afraid.That growth should mean the growth of capacity, belonging, repair, dignity, and shared futures.That economy must return to its living purpose: to serve Life.To give people enough ground beneath them, enough breath within them, and enough room around them to participate in the world not from desperation, but from agency.
What I Stand For
An economy that breathes.An economy that tends.An economy that allows the whole to live.
