Joan Robinson knew that economics isn't a neutral science—it’s all about power. We don't need more unthinking economists parroting econ class teachings. We need rethinkers ready to push for an economy that serves people and planet. If you agree, join the movement. ✊

Building an economy that works for people and the planet needs activist infrastructure. 🛠️🌱 Swipe to discover the amazing ways our activists have used our micro-grants to challenge the economic status quo.

The question of what an economy built around wellbeing - not growth - looks like dominates many of us in the heterodox space. Over 400 people have shown us what a shared solution looks like: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... What do you think?

There's a reason democracy is in crisis and climate breakdown is escalating. Your daily reminder that we collectively have enough - it's just in the hands of too few.

A better, more equitable world is possible. Ending inequality and avoiding climate breakdown are two sides of the same coin.

The energy crisis, brought on by the Iran war, shows why cutting our reliance on fossil fuels is essential for the climate and autonomy. The latest in the E4F Anti-Fascist Debate series, reflects on this very issue in the context of Germany: www.econ4future.org/articles/gre...

So often the preventing climate breakdown is pitched against a healthy economy. Of course, addressing the climate crisis challenges an economic system based on growth. But even without that many of the arguments used are based on disproven myths.
