People and planet, as well as profit

Trading up to impact economics means recognising the economic value of people and the planet. Our needs include equal opportunity, fair treatment, and an environment that is not collapsing. Impact economics aims to allocate scarce resources to meet all of those needs.

Emerging from the data sludge

The impact economy works when peoples鈥 needs are properly, transparently measured. This is necessarily more complex than reducing everything to a single statistic like GDP, but must be more simple than the current murky swamp of acronyms and conflicting measures.

Impact economics 鈥 an economic evolution

Economics has had one job throughout the ages 鈥 to find the best way to allocate scarce resources between people鈥檚 endless needs. Over the past eighty years the focus has been output economics, which assumed peoples鈥 needs were things they could buy. But people鈥檚 needs have evolved, so output economics needs to evolve into impact economics.
