'Economy', sustainability and sites of transformative space

This paper was initiated by Mary Mellor to bring together her work on alternatives for radical and sustainable transformation of the economy with Langley’s work on political economy. At the time, Mellor Chaired the University’s Sustainable City Research Institute in which Paul Langley was a Researcher. Mellor’s input looks at different forms of economic structuring and activity, including unpaid work. It forms part of a body of work that has developed radical new thinking on economic organisations and structuring that Mellor is applying to issues of social equity and democratic control of economic systems.
