Episode 123: financial literacy - reclaiming economics from exploitation

“Today’s episode critiques mainstream financial literacy programs, arguing that they are tools of capitalist indoctrination designed to perpetuate inequality rather than alleviate poverty. The source article proposes alternative models rooted in Leninist, Maoist, and Pan-Africanist Marxist perspectives, emphasizing collective action, economic self-reliance, and the dismantling of exploitative systems. These revolutionary approaches aim to empower marginalised communities by fostering class consciousness and solidarity to achieve financial liberation. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, advocates for a unified vision integrating these frameworks to build a more just and equitable economic system. The ultimate goal is to replace individualistic, assimilationist approaches with collective resistance to achieve systemic change.”
