“Jubilee Economics will change the way you see (and integrate) money, economics, and spirituality.” —Brian D. McLaren, author, Faith After Doubt
“’It never gets old watching people set free,’ Nikondeha writes. That’s exactly what this book does: looks for the hope of jubilee in societies that have forgotten the sacred joy of pursuing freedom.” —Kaitlin B. Curtice, author, Native and Living Resistance
“Thoughtful frameworks and practical tools like Jubilee Economics will prove invaluable to crafting a better capitalism.” —Paul Knowlton, Esq., CEO, Institute for Better Capitalism, Inc.
“Nikondeha liberates us from the status quo and into the real communities that grow healthier when jubilee principles are embraced. This masterfully written, street-level account should be required reading for anyone who believes leading the way toward practical, creative remedies for collective flourishing matters.”—Shannan Martin, author, The Ministry of Ordinary Places
“Nikondeha’s jubilee vision for land, labor, and liberation rekindles hope.”—Philip Clayton, Claremont School of Theology
“To inspire our living together with compassion, justice, and joy, I highly recommend Jubilee Economics as a vital story told through history, the Bible, and experience.”—Kent Annan, co-director, Humanitarian Disaster Institute, Wheaton College
JUBILEE ECONOMICS
The Purpose, Practices, and Possibilities for a Better Future
Most consider jubilee to be an aspirational, ancient practice, dismissing it as impractical for modern economic practices. Among theologians and economists many doubt it was ever practiced. And they would be wrong. Kelley Nikondeha uncovers recent scholarship that tells a different story, one of Jubilee’s robust capabilities for resetting just economic systems.
Kelley Nikondeha is a writer, speaker, liberation theologian, and community development practitioner. Together with her husband, Claude Nikondeha, they founded Communities of Hope (an NGO in Burundi), Kazoza Bank, and have an ongoing partnership with the United Nations Capital Development Fund around economic development.
