In Chapter 3 we looked at the question of social metrics (which represent social and environmental values) mainly with respect to design projects. In this chapter we examine the bigger picture. What are some of the models being proposed for transitioning from the current economy to a more sustainable economy? A key question is how we formally include social metrics alongside fi nancial values. One idea is to reform markets and capitalism, but to retain them as the central mechanism for change. A more radical idea suggests introducing other sectors, alongside the market, to create a sustainable economy. Although these are all speculative ideas and we don’t have a defi nitive answer about transition, we conclude the chapter by reviewing how design practitioners are currently fi nancing activist practice.
