CrESSI − Creating Economic Space for Social Innovation

The main theme of my publications in the CrESSI project (with co-author Christopher Houghton Budd):

“Were capital linked to the capacities of individual human beings (rather than financial assets or real estate) – that is, were capacities recognised as value-creating in their own right − could this become a medium for creating economic space for social innovation, with social innovation understood to include the many projects that people seek to realise today, but for which they lack appropriate types and amounts of capital?” (From the CrESSI Newsletter).
