I & I Economies
An economic framework built from the Rastafari premise that divinity lives within and between us, so the economy must organise around interdependence and sacred reciprocity rather than accumulation. Grounded in pardna — Caribbean rotating savings circles treated as living research into circular redistribution outside banks — and in a Jamaican lineage from Howell’s Pinnacle communes onward, with six tenets and its own indicators (reciprocity, circulation speed, cultural flourishing) in place of growth. A different ontology of value, argued from inside a tradition rather than about it; nothing else in the Library draws on Rastafari thought.
