I’m not an economist, but I believe Yorkshire can thrive through a regenerative, distributive economy — one that heals nature, builds local wealth, and welcomes global investment that respects our values.

Community wealth-building keeps prosperity close to home. Modern Monetary Theory offers helpful insights into how this can work.
