In the midst of humanity's greatest crisis, pioneers are ready and waiting. Get to know the new economic perspectives that have the potential to change the world from the ground up. The original meaning of the word ‘economy’ is ‘housekeeping’. However, today's economy is not budgeting, but consuming our finite natural resources at an alarming rate. ‘Outgrow the System’ explores how we can return to the essence of the term and develop an economic system that truly manages our scarce resources. Beyond the narrow mainstream debate and the teachings of business schools, many new economic ideas and practices are emerging. They challenge old assumptions and offer new perspectives on how we can reshape our production and consumption to ensure our survival as a species on this planet. The film celebrates the wealth of creativity and ideas that exist around the world and makes a plea for them to meet and grow together.
