Decolonising Economics
Decolonising Economics is a UK-based project that works to identify ways in which individuals and institutions can divest from whiteness, and create the infrastructure that organises those with wealth to redistribute towards marginalised communities who are investing in the solidarity economy. They do this through the following programmes: divest from whiteness (education); moving money (investing); nourishing communities (organising).
