Beloved Economies Summary

Beloved Economies: Transforming How We Work by Jess Rimington

From rising inequality, to systemised oppression, and an increasing consolidation of wealth, it's clear that work isn't working for us anymore. Rather, it's working for a select few. What changes can we implement at all levels of organizations, now, to make them healthier and more just? Based on six years of research, Beloved Economies offers seven practices for individuals who are part of teams within enterprises - from businesses to nonprofits, farms, and after-school groups - to build economic realities of more purpose, meaning, and joy. In their work with a range of communities and leading voices across the US who are building a next economy, research practitioners Jess Rimington and Joanna Cea have found that when individuals commit to these practices, they transform their enterprises to become more of an emerging system that expands economic imagination. Working in this way awakens us to the fact that our economies can be about mutual cooperation and should exist to facilitate our need to thrive. Beloved Economies shows that large scale change does not require a policy prescription or a degree in economics; it turns out intentionally transforming how we work on our teams is a powerful lever for broader economic change. Work can work for us all, and we can build an economic future that we can all love.

Her research and practice is grounded in historical analysis, accessible truth-telling, and imaginative present-day experimentation. After a decade in the non-profit sector, Jess served as a Visiting Scholar with Stanford University's Global Projects Center from 2015-2019 where she co-facilitated research with more than 200 collaborators on co-creative practices that awaken next economies. As a 4th generation small business person, Jess is focused on helping inspire the imagination of small business and organizational leaders to step out of current extractive systems into more resilient paradigms by transforming their practice and mindset. Jess splits her time between Atlanta and rural central Georgia where she and her husband steward a regenerative farm. Joanna Levitt Cea is dedicated to reimagining investment to lift up the well-being of all. She has worked in community-driven efforts to stop destructive investments that threaten local livelihoods and ecosystems, and she has also helped launch solutions that enable communities to determine our own economic futures.

Joanna lives on Oahu in Hawaii with her husband and son, both of whom inspire her continued commitment to life-giving economic futures.
