THE DEMOCRAcy collaborative presents

Owning our future: Community Wealth and Economic Democracy

Economic inequality is soaring, communities are hollowed out, and the climate emergency accelerates. At the same time, democracy itself is under strain. The power of corporate capital and oligarchs is unprecedented; once constrained by democratic oversight, they now dominate it. The prevailing economic model—extractive, financialized, and globalized—works for the few while failing the many and the planet.

So here’s the question: what if we flipped the script?

What if wealth stayed rooted where it’s created?

What if economic power was democratised, not monopolised?

That’s the promise of Community Wealth Building- offering a practical pathway to economic democracy and wealth for all. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of why ownership matters, what structural transformation looks like, and how they can be part of creating an economy that serves people and planet. Neil McInroy, Global Lead for Community Wealth Building and Thomas Hanna, VP Research & Policy, both The Democracy Collaborative
