Rosalea Hamilton (University of Technology, Jamaica) and Jihen Chandoul (Tunisian Observatory of Economy) discuss financing for entrepreneurship and how mechanisms like participatory budgeting can empower citizens to improve policy and trust in government. Rosalea lays out the rich range of solutions coming from heterodox and feminist economics, which can move past patriarchal influence in arenas like land ownership.
