ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

J. K. Gibson-Graham

J.K. Gibson-Graham is not one person, but instead two people who work together named Julie and Katherine. They are very special because they study things called "economic systems" which are ways different groups of people make and use money.

Now, sometimes we think there is only one way to do an economic system, but Julie and Katherine say that's not true! There are actually many different ways people can make and use money, and they all work in different ways. They want to help us understand that there are many possibilities and ways of doing things.

They also think it's really important to remember that real people are involved in these economic systems, and that not everyone has equal power or access to money. They want us to understand that there are problems with the way we do things now, but there are also ways we can do things differently to be fairer and make sure everyone has what they need.

Overall, Julie and Katherine want us to think about the economic systems around us and imagine what we could change to make things better for everyone.
