Redefining The Purpose of Economies

We can build economic architectures that empower people and support all planetary life, redistribute wealth, strengthen local communities, ensure circular flow of materials and allow a pluriversality of approaches. Economics are designed by people, so they can be re-designed with a new purpose – human wellbeing on a healthy planet.

The Old Way / The New Way

The sole goal of the economy and business is to generate financial wealth.

The sole goal of the economy is to support all life on earth.

The freedom of the individual (person or corporation) is the primary societal value.

The primary values of society are empowering people towards human and planetary wellbeing.

Government is small and only there to protect individuals and their private property.

Government is capable, trusted and in service to care for the common good of people and planet.

Markets are always free and unrestricted and favor larger companies.

Markets are dynamic and embedded in purpose while strengthening local economies.

Today we have economies that need to grow, whether or not they make us thrive. What we need are economies that make us thrive, whether or not they grow.

Kate Raworth
Author of Doughnut Economics

I know that women are more inclusive than mercurial, more patient than impatient, are more respectful than abrasive.

Christine Lagarde
President of the European Central Bank

We find the support we need once we truly believe in our ideas and summon the vision of our future with both hands.

The sustainability revolution will be organic. It will arise from the visions, insights, experiments and actions of billions of people. The burden of making it happen is not on the shoulders of any one person or group. No one will get the credit, but everyone can contribute.

If you empower a woman, you empower a nation.

Today’s capitalism is incompatible with feminism.

Mariana Mazzucato
Author of The Value of Everything

Thinking about development has made me realize how similar economies and ecosystems are. That’s to say, principles at work in the two are identical.

Jane Jacobs
Author of The Nature of Economies

A way must be found to reduce material throughput in the economy dramatically, but at the same time generate jobs and flourishing livelihoods for nine or ten billion people.

Hunter Lovins
Author of A Finer Future

In nature’s economy the currency is not money, but life.

Vandana Shiva
Scientist and social activist

Meeting the challenges of the 21st economy means ending the pursuit of perpetual growth, and building an economy that is regenerative, collaborative and purposeful.

Katherine Trebeck
Author of Economics of Arrival

I’m here to suggest that we need new models. We need new ideas. It is time for a revolution. A revolution that is going to unseat unbridled white male privilege from the spaces and the places that determine how the economy runs, that determine our choices, consumerism, and how governments and states run.

Lebohang Liepollo Pheko
Senior Research Fellow Trade Collective

At the end of this necessary transformation, humanity will look back and ridicule the doctrine of unlimited economic growth as a lack of knowledge, not unlike the times when men believed the sun would revolve around the earth.

Petra Kuenkel,
Author of Stewarding Sustainability Transformations

Humanity is at crossroads

Life on our beautiful blue planet depends on a sustaining organization of various forms of life. Our feminist stance acknowledges this interdependency as essential equality that needs to manifest in egalitarian societies and life-serving economies. By creating a new economic architecture based on a female reference system women become makers of a future, in which all life can thrive.

Transforming the trajectory of human development is possible – towards safeguarding the conditions for life on our planet, supporting the aliveness of all planetary inhabitants, serving people and societies, advancing life-enhancing technologies and harnessing knowledge that is truly inclusive. For life-serving economies to emerge, we need to define new parameters that underpin the global economic architecture.

The elements of life economies already exist

Dr Petra Kuenkel

What if the elements of a new economic system are already invented, in existence and partly practiced? We need to learn from the innovative transitions that are already taking place at the fringe of the mainstream systems: the modification and remodeling of our economic system has already begun.

Why is “Life” the focus of future economies?

Dr Petra Kuenkel

The future needs a global economic architecture that focuses on the conditions for life on our planet. While the pathways to implementation may differ, the broad direction is clear: creating life economies will require a fundamental shift in the global operating system. The change will be radical because only a new North Star for new economics will engender the necessary behavioral changes.
