Send us a text This week let’s chat about a popular book called Decolonizing Wealth by Edgar Villanueva. It is a book about money, giving, and social justice. In today’s episode, we will look at how the history of colonization still affects how wealth is used today, often making inequalities worse. Villanueva’s book challenges us to rethink how we view money and shows us that it can be a tool for healing instead of causing division. Let’s talk about practical ways to change how we think about wealth, focusing on the need to recognize past injustices and empower communities that have been left out. Whether you are interested in philanthropy, social justice, or just want to understand more about money's role in society, this episode will inspire you to think deeply and take action.
