The global economic crisis, Trump, the refugee crisis, Brexit\u2026 these are just some of the symptoms of a broken system. Its demise has been accelerated, and in some cases triggered by the digital innovations of the past decade.

There\u2019s a discernible disconnect between the infinite growth imperative and the finite resources of planet Earth; between private ownership and the best societal use of property; between gross domestic product (GDP) and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>But the\u00a0failure of our current socio-economic system has also brought a strong desire to change the world and co-create a better one.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arab_Spring\">The Arab Spring<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelocal.es\/20160514\/five-years-on-spains-indignados-have-shaken-up-politics\">Los Indignados<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/occupywallst.org\/\">Occupy Wall Street<\/a>\u00a0spread new value systems and sparked political and economic initiatives that questioned the prioritization of profit over people and the endless growth paradigm. These movements used technology to envision\u00a0a\u00a0new, more inclusive, equitable economic system that operates within the environmental limits of our planet.<\/p>\n<p>Sharing and circular economies were attempts in this direction. They\u00a0started in response to the economic crisis as people were pushed to utilize excess capacity, time and goods and companies started to suffer from the impacts of climate change and resource scarcity. Unfortunately,\u00a0as with many other ideas, they\u2019ve been hijacked by the private sector and its main driver; growth.\u00a0The idea of a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org\/circular-economy\">circular economy<\/a>\u00a0carries a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sustainable-business\/2017\/jul\/14\/circular-economy-not-magical-fix-environmental-woes-global-corporations\">rebound effect<\/a>; meaning we could end up\u00a0<em>increasing<\/em>\u00a0overall production, which would offset any benefits.<\/p>\n<p>The environmental crisis can\u2019t be addressed in isolation; concepts like the sharing and circular economy will only work if they are integrated into wider strategies for economic system change.<\/p>\n<p>Just imagine\u2026. What if we shaped a new economy to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><b>Put people over profit<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prioritise people and the environment over narrow and short-term economic interests.
