​Redesigning the economy should be a collective political and organizational project. The economy has become the primary medium for coordinating chains of social interaction. Conventional capitalist markets filter humanity's expressivity through the bottleneck of one-dimensional prices.

Economic Space Agency (ECSA) contends that this quantitative language cannot adequately express the productive social capacities and shared values of communities of like-minded people cooperating in forms of mutual aid. A post-capitalist media economic framework offers a richer language for expressing alternative sociality.

ECSA is designing a new grammar of economic media capable of expressing the value of community, care, the biosphere, and other intangibles.
