The past few years have upended common assumptions about the global economy: laying bare the inequities, limits, and failures of capitalism. We’ve also seen the door opened to a new way of structuring economic systems that rely on collaboration as much as competition, and drive shared prosperity rather than great wealth for the few.
We’ll write about cooperative economics and the solidarity economy, exploring economic models that involve more people in economic decisions as well as the capital gains of economic progress.
Proximate is an independent media platform covering movements for participatory problem-solving. We look at the news through the lens of money: how it’s given away, how it’s invested, and how it’s distributed by government.
We are a fiscally sponsored project of Movement Strategy Center.
