The first and only comprehensive resource designed to empower everyday people with insider knowledge on moving money for a more equitable economy.The money myths end here.We dont need to choose between creating meaningful wealth for ourselves and our families today, or supporting social movements creating a better tomorrow. We dont all need to become certified financial experts to be economically empowered and make a real difference in our communities. And were far from powerless when it comes to changing the financial system, just because we dont happen to belong to the 1%. Quite the opposite.Financial activism is how everyday people radically reimagine money as a tool for widespread well-being, instead of a weapon of absurdly increasing inequality. Its the antidote to traditional finance that evokes confusion, trauma, and (in the best-case scenario) straight-up boredom. Its how we-the underestimated-collectively resist systems that cause harm to people and the planet for the sake of profit, reclaim wealth thats been stolen, and redesign our relationships with capital and one another, in ways big and small.Going beyond tried financial literacy, The Financial Activist Playbook offers eight accessible, actionable, choose-your-own-adventure strategies for readers to experiment with.
