Economy for the common good (ECG) est un modèle économique alternatif qui s'appuie sur un système démocratique dont les citoyens sont les acteurs centraux. Dépassant la dichotomie capitalisme/communisme, il repose sur 4 piliers : la justice sociale, la participation démocratique, la dignité humaine et la durabilité. Soutenu par de nombreux économistes et entreprises à travers l'Europe, ce modèle a également inspiré l'Union européenne puisque le Comité économique et social européen a déjà adopté plusieurs de ses propositions. Christian Felber, l'un des initiateurs de ce modèle, explique dans cet ouvrage comment une nouvelle voie est possible en conservant une large place à l'économie de marché mais en réorientant celle-ci vers les biens communs, les biens publics, mais aussi l'économie du don et les ménages. Un texte fondateur.

This book advocates a holistic reform of the current monetary and financial system dealing with the issues of money creation, central banks, loans, stock markets, tax justice, pension security and the international monetary system - "Bretton Woods II". Its innovative approach presents several alternatives for each cornerstone, in addition to introducing a participatory democratic process whereby sovereign citizens can themselves determine the rules governing the new financial and monetary system. With "democratic money conventions" in each municipality, where the elements of this new money system are discussed and decided on in a participatory manner, and a federal money covenant which then elaborates a template for a referendum about the future "money constitution", a true "sovereign" could progressively convert money from a financial weapon into a democratic tool.The envisaged democratic monetary system, by providing equal opportunities for every member of society to participate in the development of the "new rules of the game", turns money progressively into a public good which increases the freedom for all. The new system furthermore drives the enhancement of constitutional and relational values such as human dignity, solidarity, justice, sustainability, or democracy. Money should serve life and should serve the common good. The "Bank for the Common Good" Project, which was initiated in Austria by the author Christian Felber, represents a practical example of his proposals.
