The world is on fire, and economics is fanning the flames.
Soaring inequality, endless wars, climate collapse, and profit-driven healthcare aren’t accidents. They’re designed. And we’re told change isn’t possible because “good economics” won’t allow it.
But what if economics itself is the problem?
FREE: the Forum for Real Economic Emancipation was born out of a simple belief:
- Economic systems should serve people, not the other way around.
- We’re building a space where critical thought meets public learning, where research doesn’t live in ivory towers but in conversation with everyday struggles.
Why FREE Exists
The economy is not a distant object that only experts model. It’s us: our jobs, our rent, our care, work, and our futures.
Policies maintain the current system, keeping power in the hands of a few. We’re here to take that power back.
What We’re Building
FREE works on five interconnected fronts:
✅ Public education & community forums
✅ Global academic partnerships
✅ Digital curriculum for public learning
✅ Grounded knowledge hubs in local communities
✅ Direct policy engagement
We’ve a big year ahead, with public events, research collaborations, and digital tools for collective action. The work is urgent, and it’s possible.
