Stacey Edgar: Artisan Economics, Gebunden

Klappentext

Artisan Economics is an open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy, to lean into this grassroots global community---and help drive systems change.

Our current economic practices are dragging us down. They contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and a decline in public trust. The solution, argues social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market Stacey Edgar, is the artisan economy.

In Artisan Economics , Edgar proposes a shift toward an artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community connection over profit at all costs. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles---purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity---which define this alternative economic framework. Ultimately, she says, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy.

Artisan Economics delves into:

• Purpose---Reclaiming Meaning in Work
• Creativity---The Art of Problem Solving
• Resistance---Making as a Political Act
• Sustainability---Craft, Climate, and the Living Economy
• Shared Prosperity and the Community of --- How Value Flows When Everyone Counts
