If you enjoyed hearing our recent episode with Robert Reich and Pramila Jayapal, you might want to check out this event featuring Marjorie Kelly.

She co-authored with Ted Howard the new book, “The Making of a Democratic Economy: How to Build Prosperity for the Many, Not the Few.”

Kelly outlines in some depth what an economy designed for the common good should look like.

She’s joined by Christine Hanna, the executive director of Yes! Magazine, and Ubax Gardheere, Equitable Development division manager for Seattle’s Office of Planning & Community Development.

Marjorie Kelly is the executive vice president of The Democracy Collaborative. She spoke at The Elliott Bay Book Company on August 14. KUOW’s Sonya Harris recorded the conversation.
