The Political Economy of Debt and Debtor Organizing

Astra Taylor, Lindsey Muniak, and René Christian Moya speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by the Debt Collective: https://debtcollective.org/ Concentrated wealth, stagnant wages, and austerity-driven policies have forced us to take on enormous debts to cover the costs of everything from healthcare to housing, education to transportation. This panel will consider how the growing crisis of personal debt relates to the contemporary economic situation – and look at the forms of organizing that seek to turn debt into a political and collective question.
