I think a category like that could be more confusing than helpful. When people say a car is economical, that has a real definition, but if you say the 'economy' is down, it collects a number of things and doesn't really have one definition. I find that even educated people can't define 'the economy.' So I'm not sure what you'd put in this category.

If you're talking about politics, there's a category for that, if you're talking about an economical new product, there's a category for that. A new government program? a new trade law?

What are you thinking about that didn't fit into one of the other categories? I'm just curious.

HelloOver the past 10 years or so, there has been a great movement towards thinking about other economic models. There is a growing awareness that the current economic model that we in the West are operating under is unjust and unsustainable. People need a space to be able to share new ideas for an economic model for the 21st century.
