I am an academic economist from the UK who has long been critical of the economics profession and how economics is used in public policy. Mostly the channel will cover economics with a critical perspective but I aim to educate people about economics in the process, so I'll try to explain key concepts and ideas along the way. That way, even if you disagree with aspects of the videos you will hopefully learn something from them. I am interested in more than just economics and will likely do videos covering other topics such as statistics and politics.

A Participatory Economy is a model for a new democratic, fair and green economic system developed as a viable alternative to capitalism. It provides a concrete description of how a modern economy of millions of people can be organised around cooperation and solidarity instead of competition and greed. A Participatory Economy is made up of: 1. Social Ownership of our productive commons 2. Federations of self-managed worker and neighbourhood councils 3. Participatory planning, where these councils participate in a decentralised cooperative procedure to plan the allocation of resources in the economy.
