Credit unions, housing co-ops, CSAs... Black folks have been building and benefitting from cooperative economics for decades, particularly in parts of the economy where we\u2019ve been cut out by the major institutions.\xa0As Dr. Jessica Gordon-Nembhard points out, we all participate in some form of cooperative economics when we use the informal economy.\xa0In this episode, we dig into the power that we could amass if we took cooperative economics to scale.
