We can co-create economic futures that work for us all

From rising inequality, to systemized oppression, and an increasing consolidation of wealth, it's clear that work isn't working for us anymore. Rather, it's working for a select few. What changes can we implement at all levels of organizations, now, to make them healthier and more just?

Based on six years of research, Beloved Economies offers seven practices for individuals who are part of teams within enterprises-from businesses to nonprofits, farms, and after-school groups-to build economic realities of more purpose, meaning, and joy.

In their work with a range of communities and leading voices across the US who are building a next economy, research practitioners Jess Rimington and Joanna Cea have found that when individuals commit to these practices, they transform their enterprises to become more of an emerging system that expands economic imagination. Working in this way awakens us to the fact that our economies can be about mutual cooperation and should exist to facilitate our need to thrive.

Beloved Economies shows that large-scale change does not require a policy prescription or a degree in economics; it turns out intentionally transforming how we work on our teams is a powerful lever for broader economic change. Work can work for us all, and we can build an economic future that we can all love.

Reviews for Beloved Economies: Transforming How We Work

Beloved Economies is a pragmatic guide for all of us who know we are ready to move beyond our current extractive and violent economy, beyond the divisive, label-based politics of how we currently manage the abundance of earth, but wonder how to make such a massive shift into what feels unknown. This jaw-dropping circle of bright minds gather here to generously shed light for us on a multitude of pathways forward, centering seven core practices. Emergent strategy is woven throughout, as we are reminded of our agency in creating more possibilities for the future. Adrienne Maree Brown, author of Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds and New York Times bestseller Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good Beloved Economies offers a deeply compelling vision of a world in which the relationship between work, the environment, and human flourishing is one of harmony rather than friction and inequity. Its philosophical underpinning serves as a foundation for practical actions, all made vivid through stories of people who are already changing the status quo. It's an invitation to discover that continuous innovation born of trust and shared investment is the way forward, and a case for refusing to accept that the way we live now is the way we have to live forever. Eric Ries, author of New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup
