10 Economies that Rethink Innovation

One framework to redesign value in a complex world

What if innovation wasn't just about technology or efficiency-but about identity, wellbeing, regeneration, and meaning?

10 Economies that Rethink Innovation offers a bold new lens for understanding how real change happens. In this original and highly applicable framework, strategist and educator Andrés Vrant maps out ten distinct economies-some familiar, others hidden-that drive innovation in today's complex world.

From the Purple Economy of culture and symbolism to the Black Economy of subversion and shadow systems, this book helps you diagnose what kind of value you're truly creating-and what you may be overlooking.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, policymaker, educator, designer, or changemaker, this book invites you to:

• Break free from outdated models based on growth alone

• Combine ethics, creativity, and systems thinking in your work

• Design solutions that are regenerative, inclusive, and context-aware

• Understand the invisible forces shaping innovation today

With clear language, deep insight, and powerful tools, this book is both a conceptual map and a practical companion for rethinking the way we innovate, decide, and lead.

A must-read for those who believe the future belongs not to the fastest, but to the most conscious
