Our New Economy - ONE - aims to innovate the economy. ONE does this by stimulating new economic thinking in education, in research and in the field.ONE is founded in a time where people face accumulating problems such as pollution, waste and global inequality. Although the economic data focuses on financial growth, people face growing problems. The question of our times is: how do we realize an economic system that produces enough products for a good life for all people within the ecological limits of the Earth?To find answers to this, ONE starts activities that contribute to innovation in education, broadening the scope of research and inspiring practical experiments. ONE raises fundamental questions about our current economic thinking and at the same time works on alternatives together with thinkers and doers to show that our economy can be fundamentally different. ONE wants to go beyond an economy in which everyone is each other's competitor, and all citizens are seen as individuals. ONE advocates diversity and wants to bring the concept of "living well together" back into economic thinking. In this way we realize an economy that makes prosperous lives possible for all citizens of the world within the ecological limits of the Earth.
