Summing Up: Recommended. With reservations. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
Professor Friedline condenses complex economic phenomena into distinct issues and connects the work on segregation, predatory credit, and other financial issues to the everyday work of advocacy. She weaves flawlessly between both macro and micro economics and offers institutional critiques and paths toward economic activism. Every social worker, teacher, scholar, and student interested in achieving racial justice should read this book.
This book provides an insightful and passionate diagnosis of how modern finance has been the root of a plethora of social issues. Friedline presents a compelling call to action for social workers and ordinary citizens to confront the pervasive injustice built into our economic system.
Too often books about low- and moderate-income people show only what they cannot be or do to make finance fair. Either the banks are too big or the movements are too weak. The Revolution offers a refreshing corrective, demonstrating how it is possible to have social movements succeed in turning banks into social institutions that work for the people most in need of service. While also documenting discrimination and redlining, even in digital finance, The Revolution insists that another reality is possible and provides a roadmap to get there. An important read, well timed.
To fight for justice, we must understand injustice. Friedline's book is an indispensable field guide to the financialization of our economy and our democracy. She chronicles the sucking sound heard across the nation as the financial industry extracts wealth from Black, white, and brown communities in new and audacious ways, and tells the stories of the people who have had enough, and are fighting back.
Friedline's The Revolution Will Not Be Financed speaks directly to the questions of our time, in its unwavering focus on how our financial system is calibrated to whiteness. Friedline's keen understanding of the relationship between small, incremental change and a larger strategic movement for revolutionary change and economic justice is especially visionary.
A fundamental book to understand how the financial system decisions are classist, racist and deepen social inequalities. It calls Social Workers to organize the collective political struggle to democratize these decisions for a more just and humane Social Order.
A refreshingly real and frank examination of our financial system. The book offers important insights and research on how we place the burden of fixing our problems on the individual instead of the system that perpetuates economic inequality, the likelihood of fintech to digitally replicate redlining, and the critical fact that a non-racial analysis and approach of any financial system development will continue to exacerbate the already vast racial wealth, income, and access inequalities we see today. Thankfully Friedline doesn't stop there, but offers up a surprising potential vehicle for financial revolution. Friedline examines and provides evidence for so many dynamics and ideas that I've observed and felt in my gut and through experience in the financial industry for the past 12 years.
The financial systems that govern our lives purport to be fair and impartial. But as Terri Friedline reveals in her smart, provocative and brave book they are yet another rigged engine that perpetuates our nation's entrenched racial and class divides. The Revolution Will Not be Financed is a persuasive and important argument for a more just and inclusive system, one that will lead to a better world for all of us.
