Profit Without Oppression: A Blueprint for Building An Antiracist Organization

by Kim Crayton

EVERY PART of our current political, social, and economic systems, institutions, and policies are rooted in oppression. They require domination, theft, dishonesty, intolerance, and the harming of others as fuel to operate AND are designed to discourage and even crush any challenge. As we face our uncertain future, some understand that systems, institutions, and policies designed to oppress are not only unethical and immoral but also unsustainable. The flaws that inherently exist when exclusion is the business model are increasingly being highlighted globally.In the book Profit Without A Blueprint for Building an Antiracist Organization, Kim Crayton, The Antiracist Economist unapologetically identifies the systems, institutions, and policies that privilege the few while excluding and harming the many. This book charts an inclusionary strategic path forward that seeks to develop an economic ethos and series of business models that are supremacy, coercion, discrimination, and exploitation free. Profit Without Oppression is an economic theory based on the understanding that to advance in ways where harm is not treated as a necessary "cost of doing business," we must forge an entirely new path that leads to a supremacy, coercion, discrimination, and exploitation free future. While many view disruption as an innovative product or service, Kim vows to disrupt the thinking process for the masses and challenge the status quo; to scale welcoming and psychological safety.

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

In my experience, Kim Crayton has never shied away from speaking truth, and this book reflects that — it is a combination of strategies and values and perspectives that she's generously shared with the world. I love how she specifically points out that the reality she imagines for our future is free of supremacy, coercion, discrimination, and exploitation.

I haven't seen another book with this type of format that jumps from thoughts to tweets to reviews to lists, and for that reason I was a little confused sometimes. For example, I'd really love to see more about some of the items she listed because it wasn't always clear to me what was meant or what the reader should glean from it. Still, there were so many powerful things written that I highlighted and have already reviewed and reflected on multiple times.
