Economic justice, as articulated by Vanessa Andreotti, is about fostering equitable systems that recognize and address the complex, interwoven inequalities shaped by historical, social, political, and ecological contexts. It demands a critical examination of how wealth, opportunities, and privileges are distributed and calls for dismantling mechanisms of oppression that perpetuate poverty and marginalization. This justice transcends mere reparation; it aims for holistic transformation, ensuring that economic policies and practices respect the sovereignty and rights of all communities, particularly those historically disadvantaged. It is a commitment to co-creating systems that uphold dignity, reciprocity, and sustainability, acknowledging the interconnectedness of human and more-than-human life, while challenging paradigms of growth that exploit and dehumanize.
