This chapter examines the stark contrasts between reported economic growth in the U.S. and the lived experiences of average individuals grappling with issues like housing affordability and labor exploitation. It delves into the interconnected struggles faced by people in the global north and south, emphasizing the necessity for international solidarity in addressing systemic injustices. Additionally, it critiques mainstream economic narratives and explores the intersections of capitalism, climate change, and political movements, advocating for alternative, inclusive economic frameworks.
