Event Description

The idea of a new economy isn't really that new. Co-ops and credit unions are so old hat it's hard to remember that these were once radical things. But the idea that human enterprise can be something that benefits human beings rather than just profit margins remains alive and evolving every day. In an age of increasingly pointless wealth disparity, more people are feeling like it's time to re-examine what that means today.

Through seven different socially minded businesses from BC and around the world, A New Economy gives us a glimpse of just a few of the current forerunners for human dignity in the work place. Beer, music, software, co-living, urban gardening, open technology and even public parks have a role to play in this new and better world.

This doc is an easy-pleaser for anyone who has ever fallen in love with a TED talk, but it adds a bit more. Certainly, positivity about possibility is very front and centre but A New Economy benefits from its extended runtime too. It digs a little deeper into the less obvious problems that beset these new-idea enterprises. A New Economy will leave you feeling a little more enlightened and a little more challenged to do better about everything.
