Session 2 - SEE THE BIG PICTURE

• Mainstream economics depicts the world in basic diagrams that are used to reinforce a neoliberal narrative about how things work in the world
• It is time to draw the economy anew, embedding it within society and within nature
• This new depiction invites new narratives—about the power of the market, the partnership of the state, the core role of the household and the creativity of the commons.
