Abstract
Ferda Dönmez Atbaşı and Irene Sotiropoulou, in ‘Ethics and grassroots economics: a quest for collective meaning’, present the approach to economics that informs the grassroots economics research programme. By grassroots economics is meant knowledge about the economy and economic practices that are created and performed by individuals or social groups who might not have any formal economic training. To explore this knowledge and practice, various sources are used, such as everyday practices and folk/vernacular art, other disciplines, local languages or theory and practice produced by social movements. Of particular interest are ideas and practices that aim to be harmonious with nature and to sustain egalitarian ways of production and distribution - or at least take a critical stance towards economic injustice, discrimination, environmental degradation and inequality.
