The new democratic economy: an imaginary and real alternative
An alternative economy is being built in the UK and beyond. It comes out of radical imagination, yet is material and real and draws on but breaks with previous paradigms. It is complex, detailed and practical, based in pluralities, governmental and civil society, political and eco- nomic, and in its regenerative capacities can appeal across the political spectrum. People are talking about it and doing it, from local govern- ments, to think tanks, academics, and national political parties, moving beyond globalisation and neoliberalism. But can something localised avoid parochialism and competition, represent the interests of the public as a whole and work nationally and beyond? Will the alternative econ- omy’s embeddedness across institutions and via plural actors protect it from reversal? Can the democratic economy survive as an imagine-and- do, not just imagining, approach?
