Easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism? We should talk.

RADICAL ECONOMICS DERBYSHIRE, UK

Flourish Economics wants to radicalise economic thinking.

But the problems of our world run so much deeper than just economics.

Collectively we need to unlearn what we’ve been told about people, economics and our communities. This means coming together to write new stories about what we want our lives to look like. This means letting go of colonial ways of thinking based on extraction and exploitation and moving to systems that are regenerative, based on solidarity and reciprocity.

This means going deep and questioning the values and desires our cultures promote, connecting with our own values and reconnecting to nature. This won’t be easy but it will be rewarding.

We can break the myths of mainstream economics, explore emerging alternative economic models and return to ancestral wisdom to dream of our utopia. We can join the dots together to understand how capitalism, patriarchy, racism, imperialism and colonialism have collided to create the polycrises we face today.
