Purpose

To redesign the economy, with key decisions about how it works taken democratically, so that the economy works for the common good, by spreading power and wealth.

Activity

The project will explore, with one or two communities, a people’s approach to wealth and economics, starting from the perspective of people who have directly experienced economic disadvantage.

Firstly, we will recruit a diverse group of young adults. They will then develop their awareness and learning about wealth and economics and develop an environment to explore further.

Through co-production, the group will analyse both wealth and assets, and associated financial flows, within the community. They will then prioritise down to one focus, with a view to co-producing a solution for collective ownership and management of local assets for community benefit.

The learning will then be shared and wider influence sought.

Impact

This project is ongoing.
