Planning for Economic Justice
Planning Webcast Series
[Virtual]
Any discussion of planning for Economic Justice must begin with identifying the cause(s) of economic inequality. Economic inequality is intimating intertwined with racism and other socially constructive narratives that define the problems as intractable and designed to divide the many in the interest of the few. The following conversations, today and other panels in this serious, are a first step for APA to recognize the causes, costs, and corrective actions necessary to assuage economic inequality. Today’s session endeavors to provide the historical foundation of economic injustices, define so critical terms so we speak a common language, develop new lenses of discovery, and apply these lenses to some case studies to reveal potential pathways to enabling the Communities of Promise that have been systematically excluded from reaching their potential for self-actualization and capacity to contributed to the benefit of the whole. Zero-sum and scarcity assumption in economics has shaped our understanding of the issues, constrained our policy responses, and continue to obscure the real issues. Transcending the orthodoxy of neo-classical economics and other socially constructed narratives begins with understanding how we arrived at this point, exposing the demonstrably false assumptions, and learning from the past; so we can see an alternative all-inclusive future that benefits from the contribution of all.
