“The Citizens’ Economic Council was a programme designed to give citizens a say on national economic policy, and influence over the future of the UK economy. It was part of a broader effort to build a stronger economic democracy in the UK through informed engagement and discussion.
The Council itself consisted of 54 citizens and was overseen by an independent advisory group. Participants undertook a journey of economic inquiry to deliberate and innovate on economic policy and regain a sense of control over the economic decisions that affect their lives.”
