December 2024: The new economy

Ruling economic models pursue endless growth at the expense of the planet and the needs of the many. 

Between calls for community-owned assets and the equitable redistribution of goods, a chorus is rising for a new economic model, one that prioritises social well-being and environmental health. But with swirling economic storms, like inflation and trade wars, philanthropy faces a crucial question: how can we effectively navigate these challenges and support innovative approaches? 

Alliance’s December special feature will deep dive into exciting novel economic ideas like the Circular Economy and Doughnut Economics, exploring how they work in theory and practice. The feature will investigate how philanthropy is embracing such ideas, and transforming its grantmaking and investment strategies. Ultimately, Alliance’s ‘new economy’ special feature will explore how philanthropy can become a powerful engine for a more just and sustainable future, while also examining its own role in the economic system.
