Bill Rancic and journalist Josie Cox, talk about her book, “Women Money Power: The Rise and Fall of Economic Equality”, how significant legislative changes shaped women's rights in the economy, how women were considered second-class citizens under financial law until the late 20th century and why, despite these changes there is still gender pay gap, with cultural biases and structural challenges that limit true equality in the workplace, she underscores the importance of addressing these issues at individual, corporate, and policy levels, particularly around childcare and flexible work arrangements and she advocates for financial education as a form of empowerment, calls for open discussions on gender equality with both boys and girls to foster a more equitable future and much more.

In the dynamic landscape of urban development, the intersectionality of economic inequality and climate change emerges as a critical focal point for envisioning sustainable urban futures. As we convene for this City Club Youth Forum, we embark on a journey to explore innovative strategies that acknowledge the imperatives of economic justice with the urgent need for climate resilience in our rapidly evolving urban environments.rnrnCities, the epicenters of human civilization, stand at the nexus of profound challenges-economic disparities and climate change-that demand immediate attention and concerted action. Cleveland is just one example of many. Our collective responsibility is to steer urban development toward inclusive prosperity while mitigating the environmental toll of rapid urbanization. The stakes are high, and our discussions will shape the blueprint for the cities of tomorrow.rnrnAt the heart of our deliberations is the poignant question: How can urban development be harnessed as a catalyst for economic empowerment and environmental stewardship? The answer lies in reimagining urban spaces as incubators of innovation, where equitable economic opportunities flourish hand-in-hand with sustainable practices. This forum serves as a crucible for the exchange of ideas, where diverse perspectives converge to forge a path forward that transcends traditional dichotomies.rnrnOur discussion will revolve around the implications of urban development in the future. Our distinguished panelists, experts in their respective fields, will illuminate the discourse with insights drawn from real-world experiences, offering tangible ideas that can be adapted and scaled to address the unique needs of diverse urban landscapes.

On this edition of Your Call, we'll discuss a recent report from the Institute for Policy Studies and the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, Still a Dream: 500 years to Black Economic Equality. Sixty years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Black Americans are still facing a harsh reality of economic inequality and persisting disparities. Without significant changes, it could take African Americans over 500 more years to achieve economic parity with White Americans. The report proposes a range of solutions to narrow the racial economic divide, including a universal jobs guarantee, a massive land and homeownership program, a commitment to individual asset building, policies to the concentration of wealth and power, and targeted reparations.

Episode Summary. We continue our May series Thinking Biblically About Money Greed and Economic Justice by looking carefully at the claim made by many social justice advocates that Christians are hypocrites for not standing up for the poor and embracing ECONOMIC EQUALITY for everyone as Jesus would have. Is this claim true? How do we respond to our kids returning from college who are deconverting from Christianity because of the failure of today's church to embrace such equality? Resources Used for Today's PodcastInstitute for Faith, Work and Economics website (excellent, biblical, scholarly articles on the biblical view of economics, helping the poor, etc.)What Would You Say Colson Center  (Excellent short videos on how to promote a biblical view of economics). For Further Prayerful Thought.How would you respond to the average Christian dad who says, “understanding economics is not part of my calling. I can't answer my kid's accusations that Christianity is hypocritical and that they can't embrace a religion that favors American consumerism instead of ECONOMIC EQUALITY as Jesus would have?”What most stood out to you about current ideologues who have replace the content of the word EQUALITY as equal justice under the law with the concept of the same treatment?Why does the biblical view that justice is not everyone having the same abilities, assets, and opportunities but that from those who are given much, much is required better match reality than the concept that everyone God creates should be EQUAL in every opportunity, ability, and asset?Special Announcement for All those Near Schenectady/Albany, NEW YORKI will be one of the two keynote speakers at the Iron Sharpens Iron Conference May 20, 2023.

Episode Summary. In a recent book published by the Gospel Coalition, Thaddeus Williams of Biola University argues that the church's lack of concern for economic and social justice as a primary reason that many of those raised in Christian homes are deconstructing their faith. He writes, “The conclusion that Christianity is hardly the beacon of social justice that it should be is a common theme in many deconstruction stories.” “Instead of advocating for the poor by embracing economic justice, today's church,” it is argued, “embraces capitalistic greed which oppresses the poor.” No teen raised in a Christian home wants to be part of a movement that oppresses the poor. No wonder so many are jettisoning biblical Christianity in favor of joining “social justice” ideologies that they believe support the poor instead of American consumerism. So, are American Christians enslaved to consumerism and affluence? Is Christianity guilty of neglecting the poor? And is ECONOMIC EQUALITY something that justice-loving people should pursue? This episode answers these tree questions.Questions for Guiding the Rising Generation to think about this material. How would you answer the charge that Christians are guilty of neglecting the poor?How would you respond to the statement, “Rich people having more means that poor people have less.”How would you respond to the statement, “Socialism follows the pattern of the early church in Acts 4.How would you answer the charge that capitalism is evil because it is based on greed?Resources Used for Today's PodcastI want to especially highlight the excellent series from the Colson Center, “What Would You Say.” This series addresses numerous worldview issues biblically, succinctly, and with logical clarity. It is the best equipping tool I have ever seen to guide Christians to know how to be salt and light, winsomely promoting the biblical worldview throughout the culture.A Practical Guide to Culture, John Stonestreet and Brent Kunkle.For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Henry George (September 2, 1839 – October 29, 1897) was an American political economist and journalist. His writing was immensely popular in 19th-century America and sparked several reform movements of the Progressive Era. He inspired the economic philosophy known as Georgism, the belief that people should own the value they produce themselves, but that the economic value derived from land (including natural resources) should belong equally to all members of society. George famously argued that a single tax on land values would create a more productive and just society. In this podcast, we'll begin our exploration of George and his work and how it's being welded into certain communitarian models.
