Global: Rewriting the rules of the global economy

'Birthing Justice: Women Creating Economic and Social Alternatives' is a series featuring 12 alternative social and economic models which expand the possibilities for justice, equity, and strong community. In the third narrative, Deborah James, a leader in the global movement for economic justice, speaks about how international financial institutions hinder countries’ efforts at poverty alleviation, instead prioritizing corporate interests. She also describes citizens’ efforts to oppose the power of these institutions, and tells of the countries that have made strides toward freeing themselves from the economic chains, providing inspiration to us all.
