Episode 47: Questioning Assumptions About Retirement Investing with Janelle Orsi

Summary: In this episode, Capital Insight co-hosts and securities attorneys Jenny and Michelle talk to Janelle Orsi who discusses whether retirement accounts in the U.S. are irreparably broken and new ways to think about retirement. Bio: Janelle Orsi is a cartoonist, lawyer, and advocate focused on cooperatives, land trusts, housing justice, community-owned energy, and democratizing finance. She is Co-Founder of the cooperatively-structured nonprofit Sustainable Economies Law Center, which facilitates the growth of more sustainable and localized economies through education, research, and advocacy. Most of her time is spent learning and creating with inspiring groups who are advancing permanent community stewardship of land (check out the Radical Real Estate Law School) and channeling investments (especially retirement savings) away from Wall Street and into our local communities (check out The Next Egg). She likes to have fun conversations and make cartoons about abolishing private property, abolishing the legal profession, and abolishing private wealth accumulation.
