Imagine an economy that serves people, instead of people serving the economy. Where community and worker-owned businesses meet local needs. Where we measure belonging, health, and a sustainable environment instead of GDP. Where the government is driven by participation instead of partisan politics. Where investing means closing the racial wealth gap instead of making the rich richer.

People’s Economy Lab is furthering this vision by identifying, co-creating, and making the case for better economic models; convening leaders in our field; and building the movement for an economy that puts people first.
