Turning Our Individual Debt into Collective Economic Power - Astra Taylor with Richard Wolff

“Our insight at The Debt Collective is basically that just like workers come together and form a labor union to fight the boss for higher wages and benefits, debtors can also exercise economic power because our debts are somebody else’s assets. Our obligations, though they feel very oppressive, can be turned into a source of power when we come together in solidarity.“ - Astra Taylor About our guest: Astra Taylor is a writer, filmmaker, and co-founder of the Debt Collective, a union for debtors.
