Ideas for a fair, sustainable and resilient economy

New Economy Brief is a weekly newsletter bringing together credible analysis and proposals on how to build a fairer, more sustainable and more resilient economy.

Over the last decade the world has experienced a series of profound economic problems - from the financial crash to the climate crisis, from rising inequality to the far-reaching impact of the Covid pandemic. Across the political spectrum many people are now arguing for fundamental changes to the way our economies work and how they are governed.

At the same time there has been a flourishing of new economic thinking: both analysis of the way the economy has been changing, and proposals for how it can be redesigned. Some new policies and ways of organising business and society are already being put into practice; many others are being powerfully advocated.

New Economy Brief summarises robust, credible analysis to help you navigate political debate.

New Economy Brief is a project of the Economic Change Unit, a UK-based non-profit organisation which aims to support and amplify the efforts of those seeking to build a fair, sustainable and resilient economy. We work with a wide variety of policy makers, academics, think tanks, campaign groups, public bodies, businesses, trade unions and civil society organisations to help promote new economic thinking and practice.

ECU is funded by Friends Provident Foundation, the Omidyar Network and Partners for a New Economy.
