We’ve spent decades studying the global economy – its features, its consequences, and its flaws. Over that time, we’ve also developed a comprehensive vision for change, which we call ‘localization’. By replacing the dysfunctional global economy with new systems that support community wellbeing instead, we can solve multiple problems simultaneously – from climate change and food insecurity to ethnic conflicts and mental illness epidemics.
These learning guides will walk you through our vision in more detail.
