The Stanford Innovation Review published an excerpt of Marjorie Kelly’s recent book Wealth Supremacy: How the Extractive Economy and the Biased Rules of Capitalism Drive Today’s Crises:

This form of economic development works comprehensively across five pillars of impact: progressive procurement, just use of land and property, fair work, locally rooted finance, and inclusive and democratic enterprise. Through it all, it pursues the overarching aims of racial inclusion and ecological sustainability.
