A decade on from the financial crisis of 2008, the conditions are ripe for change. Shifts of the required magnitude have been achieved before and we believe are possible to do again. This issue considers our economic future, the type of economy we want to build, and the institutional turns that can help us find our way to a future of shared plenty.
