Building A New kind of economy (Update)

last week mentioned a webinar on a new kind of economy, and really interesting it was.

Joe Swinson, a former UK MP and leader of the Liberal Democrate party summerised the new economy as Regenerative rather than extractive; Interdependence rather than Neoliberalism; and long-term timelines.

Chris Monaghan of Metabolic most interesting finding from their report is a need to "fill the Burger". Namely, the gap between Policy & Grassroots and replicating & scaling up what works.

The number of organisations involved in the New Economy and the diversity of funding was nice to hear. As was more political and economic involvement. Interestingly the report suggests that language, as in specific terminology, was not considered to be a barrier. Though clear accessible language gets people involved and willing to learn more.

A really interesting webinar. The New Economy is one we all need to help put in place.
