Join the movement for an economy in service of life.
Our current economic system is not ensuring the wellbeing of all our people and our places. Despite rising GDP, inequality, poverty and environmental damage continue to worsen.
A Wellbeing Economy puts our human and planetary needs at the centre of its activities, ensuring that these are all equally met, by design.
We honour the mana and sovereignty of tangata whenua and with gratitude, pay our respects to the whenua, awa and moana
Registrations are open for Economy for Public Good conference!
Our conference is back in 2024, 28 November in Pōneke.
The theme is: The economy was designed, it can be redesigned.
If you’d like to build relationships and share ideas with people inspired to redesign the economy to one that puts our human and planetary needs at the centre, this one-day hui is for you.
Leave it in the 1980s
“Leave it in the 1980s” is a video campaign to raise awareness that our current economic system is not here by default, but rather it is the result of deliberate policy choices made 40 years ago. Like many things in the ‘80s, we think some of these policies are in need of a refresh.
We invite you to watch and share this video - and use it to start a conversation about what kind of economy you’d like to see in another 40 years’ time.
