You are not a loan: recognizing our power in the age of debt -- How did we get here?: financialization from Haiti to the household -- Debt strike: cities, countries, empires -- Disrupting dystopia: algorithmic extraction and digital redlining -- The future of finance: economic disobedience and reparative public good.
"Debtors have been mocked, scolded, and lied to for decades. We have been told that it is perfectly normal to go into debt to get medical care, to go to school, or even to pay for our own incarceration. We've been told there is no way to change an economy that pushes the majority of people into debt while a small minority hoards wealth and power. Debtors of the world must unite. As isolated individuals, debtors have little influence. But as a bloc, we can leverage our debts and devise new tactics to challenge the corporate creditor class and help win reparative, universal public goods. Individually, our debts overwhelm us. But together, our debts can make us powerful"-- Provided by publisher.
