nef (the new economics foundation) is an independent think-and-do tank that inspires and demonstrates real economic well-being.
We promote innovative solutions to the major economic, environmental and social challenges of today, and aren’t afraid to challenge mainstream thinking.
We combine rigorous analysis and policy debate with practical solutions on the ground; often run and designed with the help of local people.
We work with all sections of society in the UK and internationally - civil society, government, individuals, businesses and academia - to create more understanding and strategies for change.
Fully independent of any political party, we effect social change through the power of our ideas, the strength of our research, and campaigning with others to take practical action.
