The Common Good Podcast
Chuck Collins on the Industry That Protects Wealth and How It Hurts Everyone--Most people feel on the outside of extreme wealth. Some aspire to it. Many consider it immoral. For most of us it’s a sideshow. But Chuck says, “No! It’s not a sideshow. It’s the main show. It affects all of us.” We pay the taxes that build what everyone uses. They avoid taxes, sometimes paying none, taking no responsibility for the common good though they benefit from it. Chuck explains who makes all this work.

Ep.0621-Carrie Radloff
The Common Good Podcast
It’s far too easy to assume that not much good is happening in states that are fertile ground for the growth of right-wing ways of doing things. The states of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota have been just such fertile soils. And yet, precisely in the area where those three states meet on the Missouri River, this effective activist on environmental concerns helps us break through this stereotype that not much good can happen in areas dominated by right-wing politicians and profit-hungry corporations.

Reversing Climate Crises through Informed Tree Actions
info_outlineHow Lee has benefited from Faith & Money Network
Ways we’ve collaborated
Linking money to faith, when it affects ALL our uses of money and not just our giving, is itself a radical position.
Having this conversation while the U.S. economy is being exposed for its inability to deal with grotesque income and wealth gaps—to wit, the stock market is at all time highs but the people without work and others who are underpaid are much too high for our economy to meet the standards of faith, financial morality, or an economy to hold up as a model.
The education and training done in F&MN
Signature quote:"A change of heart or of values without a practice is only another pointless luxury of a passively consumptive way of life."- Wendell Berry. How is F&MN linking change of thinking values to change of practice?
Instances where someone’s change of practice goes as far as changing the economic and faith paradigms by which they live, e.g., is Christian faith naturally linked to the values of capitalism’s economic model. Do you see people shifting their faith and economic models?
