We can't do 'good' in the economy with an economic theory that only tells us how to fix markets if and when they fail. The common good is an objective, not a correction, where the how matters as much as the what. Telos and Polis!

In Madrid on a tumultuous day for Spain. Citizens are right to demand housing as a human right and the foundation of everything else. Not as an asset class for speculation. We need a different economics and economy: that sets the objective first and builds the tools and relationships to reach it.

New report looks at the UK’s newest public finance bodies, £77bn in combined capacity, which exhibit strong foundations but shared limitations, including that none can raise capital independently. We detail what needs to change at the institutional design level, & for the ecosystem as a whole.

The UK’s public finance bodies have real potential to drive economic transformation, but they are too siloed, too small relative to international peers, and the fiscal rules are holding them back.

In the old economics, doing good is a correction for a market failure. In an economics of the common good, it is an objective we design and work on together in every contract and relationship from the start. The Common Good Economy is out in Germany today.

A government cannot balance its current budget while starving the economy of the investment it needs. That is not fiscal prudence, it is deferred economic insecurity – and the UK’s lagging public and private investment are its outcome. New piece on what fiscal rules are actually for.

Fiscal Rules Should Serve Britain’s Future
Earlier this month, in his first major speech as the UK’s new Chancellor, John Healey stood in Coventry and reiterated his commitment to “fiscal discipline”. It is not hard to understand why: the UK…

Plan México’s targets (including water, health, energy, infrastructure) cut across government departments. Better coordination is needed across departments and sectors to utilise key levers, drive dynamic innovation and deliver rewards shared widely for “prosperidad compartida”.

Delivering this requires a state architecture capable of protecting public investment, procuring with purpose, coordinating the public banking system, and asking for commitments in return when the state backs business.
