Among theologians and economists many doubt it was ever practiced. \u003cem\u003eAnd they would be wrong.\u003c\/em\u003e Kelley Nikondeha uncovers recent scholarship that tells a different story, one of Jubilee's robust capabilities for resetting just economic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers the possibility of better conversations about our economic life, not just abroad, not just at national and community levels, but at home as well. Jubilee offers us principals, purpose and practices to explore together. As we face a feral world where precarious economies abound, it is good to seek better tools as systems show devastating fault lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJubilee is a conversation that Nikondeha has continuously engaged in, in her work as a liberation theologian in partnership with her husband, a community development practitioner, banker, and organizer in Burundi (East Africa). In this book and her community development work Nikondeha explores the purpose, practices, and possibilities of jubilee economics, the historical precedent and current engagement that revitalize our economic conversation - and action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe can reach for ancient wisdom from our ancestors, our priests and prophets in Jubilee and supplement that with insight from innovative contemporaries. And together we can engage conversations for better economies, rooted in the rich loam of jubilee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKelley Nikondeha \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer, speaker, liberation theologian, and community development practitioner.
