Mainstreaming new economic models - sign up for our New York event

Join us on Thursday 12 November 2015 to explore the successes and failures of neoliberal capitalism, the emergence of alternative economic models and the potential for grassroots activity to create meaningful change

A growing number of individuals and organisations are questioning an economy based on limitless growth. There are two broad reasons, they argue, why such an economy is doomed to fail: firstly it exploits the people and depletes the resources it relies on to survive; secondly it is accompanied by unacceptable - even unworkable - levels of inequality, financial instability and social unrest.

From China's stumbling stock markets to European austerity, global disruptions are leading to the emergence of new economic movements. The rise of anti-austerity parties such as Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece is just one example.
