How savings banks and credit unions help prevent poverty

In this episode, Dan Churchwell, Acton’s director of program outreach, sits down with Dr. Richard Turnbull, the director of the Center for Enterprise, Markets and Ethics, to discuss how banks and credit unions develop a culture of savings, independence, and poverty prevention. Do trends in the direction of large, national, even global banking institutions best serve these ideals? And what are the implications of the loss of diversity in institutional and local provisions for personal saving? What does all this tell us about the nature of civil society?   Subscribe to our podcasts   About Dr. Richard Turnbull    Centre for Enterprise, Markets and Ethics    4 arguments for the free market | Acton Institute   Brexit: One last roll of the dice? | Acton Institute   How to rebuild the economy after COVID-19 | Acton Institute   Boris Johnson: The great survivor? | Acton Institute PowerBlog   John Calvin and God's civil government | Acton Institute PowerBlog  Hosted on Acast.
