Economic processes separate from society, dominate social relations instead of being regulated to benefit societal needs

Society

Economy

Society becomes an annex to the economy and „market forces“

Humankind owns affluent knowledge &other resources.

However, too little of existing capacities is used in current

practises.

„Financialization“ is defined as a „pattern of accumulation in which profit making occurs increasingly through financial channels rather than through

trade and commodity production“

Krippner, Greta R., 2004: ‘What is Financialization?’; mimeo, UCLA Department of Sociology, p. 14.

Cf. T. I. Palley, 2007: Financialisation. What it is and why it matters. www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/wp_525.pdf

“Financialisation“: Making money without real value added Depletion of productive economic resources

“THE PROBLEM BEHIND THE CHALLENGES”

My personal favourite concerning the most needed social innovations of the 21st century:

Management of abundance, aiming at stopping financialisation

The rise of social innovation in view of austerity measures and declining welfare:

‘Making more of less‘ ?

‚Social innovations are new practices for resolving societal challenges,

which are adopted and utilized

by the individuals, social groups and organizations concerned.‘

The general and analytical definition of „Social Innovation“ *)

„All innovations are socially relevant“

THE CONCEPT OF SOCIAL INNOVATION

(4)

The „4-i process“:

– Idea >> What‘s the issue, what could be the solution?

– Intervention >> Conceptualisation, find methods and allies – Implementation >> Overcoming resistance, stakeholders, life cycle!

– Impact >> Not necessarily ‚good‘, nor for the whole of society

Idea Intervention Implementation Impact

THE MAKING OF SOCIAL INNOVATION

Three perspectives to analyse objectives and impact:

the „social demand“ perspective,

the „societal challenges“ perspective, and the „systemic change“ perspective.
