Description
Common Good Espresso Cohort
Much of the map used to understand the business enterprise is drawn from mainstream economics. This is problematic for a number of reasons, particularly when attempting to understand the recent emergence of social enterprise. We will explore how theology, particularly a theology of gift, might help re-narrate social enterprise and in doing so provide the contours of an alternative economic imagination. We will consider together the implications this has for our understanding of business models, concepts of ownership, and investment. Mark is the Director of Matryoshka Haus, a social enterprise and has recently completed a doctorate in theology and economics from King's College London in this area.
Schedule: Thursday, November 7, 14, 21, and December 5 starting at 5 PM ET / 2 PM PT for 75 minutes. (Note: November 28 there will be no gathering)
Prerequisite: TBD

Common Change is seeking to eliminate personal economic isolation by helping people pool money together with people you know to share with people you care about. Common Good believes collaborative communities are transformational change agents and we teach one another how to design, implement, and sustain systemic and spirit transformation. Espresso Cohort is a 75-minute weekly gathering with 8-12 participants, via Zoom, for four consecutive weeks with some prep time before each meeting.
