We find, cultivate, and share data-driven and design-centered economic ideas and solutions aligned with the three tenets of design economics.
IEE Mission Statement
Purpose
The Institute for Economic Evolution is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that exists to find, unify, support, fund, and share the many design and data-driven alternatives that propose to, or already have successfully addressed flaws of mainstream economics. We do this by illustrating how this modern “family” of economic proposals are iterative, data-driven, and logical solutions to big challenges faced by humanity. In doing so together, we establish a bulwark against dated models that while mathematically perfect create social, environmental, and financial havoc upon escape from the academic page. We use design thinking to effectively evaluate economic theories, models, and metrics and their coherence to the three tenets of design economics; acknowledging change, embracing creativity, and cultivating literacy.
Vision
Economic systems that cultivate rather than restrict our human potential.
Objectives
We exist to identify and promote innovative, design-centered economic models while supporting a community dedicated to evolving economic theory and practice. We enhance public economic literacy through engaging initiatives, making alternative economic approaches accessible, and demonstrating their real-world impact.
