We live in a time of overlapping challenges: concentrated corporate power, rising inequalities, a broken housing system, unaccountable control over our technological futures, creaking public services, a devalued care system, attacks on working people — all unfolding within a deepening climate and nature emergency. We believe these challenges share a common root: ownership.
Common Wealth was founded in 2019 based on the insights that ownership is the structuring force in our economy and that current relations of property and power are social in origin — and therefore can and must be reimagined.
Working at all levels from community and grassroots groups to national and international policymakers, we combine rigorous analysis and research with bold ideas for an economy that works for everyone.
Our goal is simple: reimagine ownership to repair past harms and secure a future of sustainable ans shared prosperity.
