Dreamers, Thinkers, Doers
Conversations on the Economy of TomorrowGovert Buijs
Amsterdam University Press, 2026
What kind of economy truly helps us flourish? This question lies at the heart of this interview collection. Through a series of engaging interviews, today’s innovators – from CEOs and entrepreneurs to artists, scientists, and politicians – share their visions on and experiences of the economy of tomorrow: one that is fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable.
But these voices do more than imagine a better future; they show how it can be realized. They examine what it takes to turn ideas into action and take the first concrete steps toward change. The collection brings to life a new “multi-actor approach,” as outlined by Jan Peter Balkenende and Govert Buijs in Capitalism Reconnected (2024) – an approach in which everyone matters and shares responsibility: governments, businesses, civil society, and consumers alike.
