The monetary system is surrounded by deeply ingrained frames that block reform: "money must be earned first, "the government must balance its books like a household." These frames are not neutral — they obscure who benefits from the current system and who is harmed by it. This project develops new frames and language in co- creation, making the conversation about monetary reform accessible to a broad public. Through interviews with monetary reformers, a hackathon and a public workshop, we build a shared communication strategy that organisations can put to use immediately.
Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action
What does an economy look like that focuses not on GDP growth, but on well-being, ecology and justice?
What is needed to achieve this sustainable economy and how is our current economic system holding back these changes?
We are exploring these questions from a practical perspective as part of the program: ‘Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action’. Together with partners from academia, the professional sector, government and social movements, we are working to shape this transition, set it in motion and anchor it. In doing so, we actively apply knowledge in practice to bring about a transformation of our current economic system.
