The original meaning of the word “economy” is “household management”. The economy of today, however, is not householding but rather consuming our finite natural resources at an alarming pace. Outgrow the System explores how we can return to the essence of the term and design an economic system that genuinely manages our scarce resources.
Beyond the narrow mainstream debate and the teachings of business schools, numerous new economic ideas and practices are emerging. They challenge old assumptions and offer fresh perspectives on how we can reorganise our production and consumption to ensure our survival as a species on this planet.
OUTGROW THE SYSTEM aims to bring these transformative ideas to the forefront, delving into the pressing question of what a sustainable economy could look like and drawing attention to innovative economic perspectives. It celebrates the abundance of creativity and ideas that exist worldwide, advocating that they collide and converge, and envisions a world where social movements around the globe can rally behind positive visions instead of opposing dystopias.
