New Economics Foundation

The New Economics Foundation is the radical think tank. It is unique in bringing together the ideas, people, resources and influence to challenge business-as-usual. We create practical and enterprising solutions to the social, environmental and economic challenges facing the local, regional, national and global economies.
NEF was founded by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES) 1984, which challenged the G7 Summit meeting of the world's most powerful political leaders.

TOES has become a regular international event, bringing voices from the world's poorest countries to the G7 and G8 summits and forcing issues such as international debt and climate change onto the agenda. NEF has helped to shift the economic discussion in favour of people and the environment.
