<p>The principles of the modern foundational economy and its role in renewing citizenship and informing public policy are explored for the first time in this instructive collection. </p><p> Challenging mainstream social and economic thinking it shows how foundational economy experiments at different scales can foster radical social innovation through collective rather than private consumption. </p><p> An interdisciplinary group of respected European academics provide case studies of initiatives and interventions around policy cornerstones including housing food supply and water and waste management. They build a judicious evidence base of the growing relevance of foundational economic thinking and its potential to provide a new political and social outlook on civil society and social justice.</p>
