Do you feel like things could be different?
Let's make it relatable
The world of economics can feel alienating and exclusive. Our job is to create a bridge of understanding that economics is for everyone.
New ways of thinking
Some of the best solutions are yet to be discovered. That’s why we promote new ideas and different approaches to what is already been done.
It is our world to shape
Imagining the different possibilities of how the economy can shape our lives is an exciting prospect. The alternatives that are already being created by working class communities give us hope that things can and will be different.
