Transforming the financial system from within: an interview with the Finance Innovation Lab
The aim of openDemocracy’s ‘New Thinking for the British Economy’ project is to present a debate on how to build a more just, sustainable, and resilient economy. In the project so far we’ve debated policy areas ranging from trade policy and universal basic income, to childcare policy and housing .
But across Britain, hundreds of people are working tirelessly to build a new economy on a daily basis, putting new economic ideas into practice from the ground up. In a new video series, we will be showcasing some of the most exciting initiatives that are already working to replace different aspects of our failing systems with fairer and more resilient alternatives — from housing and finance to food and energy.
This week, Anna Laycock and Marloes Nicholls from the Finance Innovation Lab speak to us about the work the Lab is doing to incubate the people and ideas that can transform the financial system to make it serve people and planet. Watch the full video below:
