The question of what an economy built around wellbeing - not growth - looks like dominates many of us in the heterodox space. Over 400 people have shown us what a shared solution looks like: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... What do you think?

There's a reason democracy is in crisis and climate breakdown is escalating. Your daily reminder that we collectively have enough - it's just in the hands of too few.

We need to shift our mindset from focusing on economic growth to focusing on wellbeing. That's where the solution to the climate crisis lies.

Yet again, fossil fuel execs and arms companies get rich off violence and destruction. In a global economy built on fossil fuels and militarism, a small number of super wealthy people are getting even richer.
