Dear all,
I just listened to a half hour podcast entitled "Education for Societal
Transformation" by two TAP (The Alternatives Project) colleagues that was *so
brilliant* I think you would find it worth your time to listen to it.

It really was the most amazing short analysis of everything on that topic
that I have heard or read!
In solidarity,
Steve

Queridxs compas,
Os adjunto un breve texto MUY introductorio sobre Pluriverso que acabamos
de publicar, en español, en un libro de Economía inclusiva
<https://www.catarata.org/libro/economia-inclusiva_168668/>.
El libro supone un esfuerzo colectivo de agrupar a decenas de académicos
(en su mayoría economistas) españoles para ofrecer una mirada alternativa
sobre la economía. Y nos alegra que el concepto del pluriverso haya ganado
la suficiente relevancia como para poder figurar en él.
Nuestro texto es muy introductorio y tiene escasa o nula utilidad para
aquellos que ya hayáis trabajado sobre estas cuestiones previamente. Su
importancia, para nosotros, es doble:
1) Reivindicar la necesidad de que esta cuestión forme parte de
cualquier visión alternativa crítica o heterodoxa de la economía.
2) Utilizarlo como texto básico y muy breve sobre la cuestión para
nuestras clases de grado (en español) en la universidad. En este sentido,
nuestra experiencia con el texto durante este curso ha sido muy positiva.
Confiamos en que pueda ser también de utilidad para algunos de ustedes.
Gracias y un abrazo.
En solidaridad,
Jorge

Dear compas,
I am attaching a brief, VERY introductory text on Pluriverse that we have
just published, in Spanish, in a book on inclusive economics
<https://www.catarata.org/libro/economia-inclusiva_168668/>.
The book is a collective effort by dozens of Spanish academics (mostly
economists) to offer an alternative view of Economics. We are delighted
that the concept of the pluriverse has gained enough relevance to be
included in it.
Our text is very introductory and of little or no use to those of you who
have already worked on these issues previously. Its importance, for us, is
twofold:
1) To assert the need for this topic to be part of any critical or
heterodox alternative view of economics.
2) To use it as a basic and very brief text on the topic for our BA
lectures (in Spanish) at the university. In this sense, our experience of
this course with the text has been very positive.
We trust that it may also be useful to some of you.
Thank you, and kind regards.
In solidarity,
Jorge
