Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established by Martin Eakes and Bonnie Wright in North Carolina in 1980, the nonprofit Center for Community Self-Help has grown from an innovative financial institution dedicated to civil rights into the nation's largest home lender to low- and moderate-income borrowers. Self-Help's first capital campaign—a bake sale that raised a meager seventy-seven dollars for a credit union—may not have done much to fulfill the organization's early goals of promoting worker-owned businesses, but it was a crucial first step toward wielding inclusive lending as a weapon for economic justice. In Lending Power journalist and historian Howard E. Covington Jr. narrates the compelling story of Self-Help's founders and coworkers as they built a progressive and community-oriented financial institution. First established to assist workers displaced by closed furniture and textile mills, Self-Help created a credit union that expanded into providing home loans for those on the margins of the financial market, especially people of color and single mothers. Using its own lending record, Self-Help convinced commercial banks to follow suit, extending its influence well beyond North Carolina. In 1999 its efforts led to the first state law against predatory lending. A decade later, as the Great Recession ravaged the nation's economy, its legislative victories helped influence the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the formation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Self-Help also created a federally chartered credit union to expand to California and later to Illinois and Florida, where it assisted ailing community-based credit unions and financial institutions. Throughout its history, Self-Help has never wavered from its mission to use Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of justice to extend economic opportunity to the nation's unbanked and underserved citizens. With nearly two billion dollars in assets, Self-Help also shows that such a model for nonprofits can be financially successful while serving the greater good. At a time when calls for economic justice are growing ever louder, Lending Power shows how hard-working and dedicated people can help improve their communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of Borrowed Money was born out of practical banking and finance experience, especially in the area of borrowing and lending. It is the summary of interactions with people across the globe in respect of the individual’s experience in growing credit and debt problems. The book was written in simple words to gain maximum insight into lending and borrowing methods with optimal benefits for both the lender and the borrower in the formal and informal sectors. It provided sound knowledge on how to safe breath on the darts of unnecessary debts emanating from all angles in the present time. The methods of settling overdue loan and raising cheap funds to cushion the effects of hard times and solve the problem of cash flow were discussed. It supported the wisdom in taking credit to increase investment assets. It also exposed the risks involved in increasing debt to acquire liability assets. The book clearly highlighted the humbling and easy ways to break the yoke of debt before it breaks those who are entangled in it. The self-explanatory action points at the end of each chapter are to safeguard everyone from unnecessary debts and its negative effects.

Download or read book The unity of the capitalist economy and state written by Geert Reuten and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The unity of the capitalist economy and state, Geert Reuten offers a systematic exposition of the capitalist system, showing that the capitalist economy and the capitalist state constitute a unity. In its critique of contemporary economics, the book argues that in order to comprehend the capitalist system, one requires a full synthetic exposition of the economic and state institutions and processes necessary for its continued existence. A synthetic approach also reveals a range of components that are often obscured by partial analyses. In its systematic character, Reuten’s work takes inspiration from Marx’s provisional outline of the capitalist system in Capital, while also addressing fields that Marx left unfinished – such as the capitalist state.
