Outgrow the system: film and discussion with Kate Raworth

"Change the system, not the climate" is a common demand in the climate movement. But what kind of system do we actually want? In the midst of humanity's worst crisis, there are pioneers standing ready. Meet the new economic perspectives that have the potential to change the world at its core.

The original meaning of the word "economy" is "household management." The economy of today, however, is not householding but rather consuming our finite natural resources at an alarming pace.

OUTGROW THE SYSTEM explores how we can return to the essence of the term and design an economic system that genuinely manages our scarce resources. Beyond the narrow mainstream debate and the teachings of business schools, numerous new economic ideas and practices are emerging. Amongst those new economic ideas explored in the film are Doughnut Economics, Degrowth, Economic Democracy, Participatory Economy, Not-for-Profit World, Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll). They challenge old assumptions and offer fresh perspectives on how we can reorganize our production and consumption to ensure our survival as a species on this planet.

This event is shown in partnership with Makespace Oxfordshire as part of the Reclaim the Economy week organised by the Wellbeing Economy Alliance.
