An approach to economics that increases as maximises wellbeing must do so despite and regardless of the impact this approach would have on growth.
This paper sought to show how mindsets matter in allowing an understanding of a WBE that truly ‘serves people and the planet’ and what the deeper leverage point solutions can be. It also sought to help align the interpretation of a growing number of authors and interested parties around an understanding that the WBE by explaining that’s not a business-as-usual tax and spend economy seeking to produce wellbeing. Instead, it seeks to set a new systems goal and through ensuring that access to nature, true participation, connection with communities, fair institutions, and dignity to all, are designed into the economy through every policy and structure, it delivers planetary, personal and social wellbeing for all.
