==== ### ==== * Jesus rejected hoarding wealth and advocated redistribution and communal living. * A modern life-coherent economy inspired by Jesus would: - Shift from extractive capitalism to regenerative commons-based models. - Prioritize local, cooperative economies over multinational corporate dominance. - Establish wealth redistribution mechanisms (e.g., basic income, debt forgiveness, land reform). ===== - Jesus' economic ethics align with the ancient Hebrew concept of the Jubilee, where debts were forgiven, and land was restored to the people. ===== * Policy Actions: - Municipal debt forgiveness programs (e.g., for housing, medical debt, student loans). - Local currency systems & mutual credit networks to break dependency on extractive banking. - Cooperative finance models that decentralize economic power and keep wealth circulating locally. ===== - Land was sacred in Jesus' teachings—it belonged to the people, not imperial landlords. ===== * Today, this translates into: - Community land trusts: Prevents real estate speculation and keeps housing affordable. - Cooperative housing: Shared ownership models that guarantee stable, life-affirming shelter. - Regenerative agriculture & urban farming: Land stewardship rather than extractive development.
