There is so much in common between this narrative and local economic strategies as promoted by the @CoopInnovation and @CLESthinkdo that we really ought to be calling it by its name, #communitywealthbuilding
Mariana Mazzucato@MazzucatoM

Earlier this week, I welcomed the UK's Public Interest Test for procurement and new insourcing strategies. But procurement reform needs to go much further to become a true lever for economic transformation. New piece with @annapick_, @IIPP_UCL Policy Fellow, identifies three shifts required to turn procurement from a cost centre into an engine of inclusive growth—supporting missions (not just sectors), maximising public value (not just social value), and building state capacity to direct growth and take risks. UK procurement: £341 billion annually. That's enormous leverage to shape markets if designed right. LINK IN NEXT POST

Celebrating with civic leaders from around the country and central government, what has been achieved by @CLESthinkdo in the past 40 years. #CommunityWealthBuilding is offering the route back to prosperity, and so the impact and relevance of CLES is growing and growing.

South London has ~60,000 active businesses. Most work in isolation, missing the bigger opportunities that need collaboration. Crystalisr is building community-owned infrastructure to change that crystalisr.coop

Small organisations don't lack expertise. They lack access to the opportunities that need scale. Crystalisr connects SMEs, freelancers & social enterprises in South London so they can collaborate, win bigger opportunities & deliver together. crystalisr.coop

As a movement, Cooperators have long stood against VAWG – with equality of access and opportunity at the core of our value. As Cooperators in local government, CCIN members are continuing that - exploring how Coop values can drive innovation in the sector and improve services.

Sally Rooney: "I would like to ask my fellow writers & artists.. not to dwell too exclusively on what we stand to lose. There is another more important side to the story. To join in something greater than ourselves, to participate in.. a struggle for human liberation"

Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organisations controlled by their members. If they enter into agreements with other organisations, including governments, or raise capital from external sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control. (ica.coop)

Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part of that capital is usually the common property of the cooperative. (ica.coop)

Something wonderful for #artists, #songwriters #poets, #photographers, #performers and the whole creative and digital sector. Soon there will be a community-owned platform for you to build your supply chain and reach an audience of 1.2 million! #HacktheSystem @BIGSouthLondon

Extremely grateful to everyone who contributed to last weekend's Hack the System event, especially: @crystalisr @LSBU for the organization, @a_vaunt, @ShardSpaceApp, @ArtSectDAO, @RegenCollectiv3, for their presentations, and @roehamptonUni for promoting the event so well. The real breakthrough of the weekend was realizing that Atomix's matching engine can be used as the backend for a platform that would give South London's creatives a place to trade directly with their community, capturing more value from their work while strengthening local economic networks. The next step is to turn this vision into reality for South London's creative community! Keep building 💪

Cooperatives are democratic organisations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting their policies and making decisions. Men and women serving as elected representatives are accountable to the membership. (Ica.coop)
