Alternative economics

Alternative economics refers to economic ideas and systems that differ from mainstream models like capitalism or traditional free-market approaches. It explores ways to organize economies that prioritize social well-being, environmental sustainability, and equality. These alternatives might include cooperative ownership, social enterprises, or community-based planning, aiming to create outcomes that benefit people and the planet rather than just maximizing profit. Essentially, it offers different perspectives on how economies can function more fairly and sustainably, challenging conventional wisdom to build a more inclusive and responsible economic framework.
