A two-day collaborative workshop aimed at developing viable alternatives to finance-led growth organised with the New Economics Foundation.
A dynamic two-day workshop bringing together academic, policy and civil society experts to forge a common agenda for alternatives to the current zombie economy.
Provocations establishing a common agenda will be offered by: Ann Pettifor (Economist Labour Economics Advisory Team, author of Just Money), Frances Coppola (Economist and Commentator), Dawn Foster (Guardian Journalist, author of Lean Out), Marc Stears (Director of NEF, author of Demanding Democracy), Melissa Fisher (NYU, author of Wall Street Women) and Elisabeth Prugl (Graduate Institute Geneva, author of One World, Many Voices)
Our aims will be to shift economic thinking beyond the endless cycle of crisis which currently characterise our economy to instead examine the potential paths for economic renewal. We invite actors from theory, policy and practice to envision a future beyond the zombie economy and work collaboratively to disruptively create a new economic imagination.
These will be developed through a focus on four organising questions:
What does a democratic and inclusive economy look like?
How can financialisation be dismantled?
Can different types of labour organise?
Why build a common ground?
Now is the time to start developing ways out of the enduring economic fragility and looming global crises, so that the next crisis does not bring more of the same. To do this we must develop new ways of thinking and communicating alternative frameworks for solving 21st century problems.
