The Flywheel economy

“Nature’s flywheels, silent and intricate, power the perpetual motion of balanced ecosystems, ensuring abundance and the rhythm of life endures. Likewise, we aim to harness economic flywheels within balanced and vibrant economies, ensuring sustainable and equitable prosperity for all.”

— The Flywheel Economy

Flywheel Economics is an approach to economic policy making centered on treating the economy as an ecosystem. The role of the economic policy maker is similar to that of a good gardener. They look to encourage natural flywheels that can lead to sustained and shared prosperity.
