Abstract
Increasingly we are seeing innovative economic transformations being pioneered outside the realm of traditional economic development policy and practice (Allard, Davidson, and Matthaei 2008; Cameron 2010). The (capitalist) "business as usual" orientation of most economic development activity is, it seems, unable to deliver widespread benefit to people or environments. All around the world people are experimenting with new kinds of enterprises intent on producing more equitable, inclusive, sustainable, and resilient economies (Gibson-Graham, Cameron and Healy 2013).
