We are giving out free money! During Economia festival, visitors should prepare themselves to be flooded with cash. Not the kind of cash that you are used to in your daily live, but a currency based on your own values and beliefs. How do your needs and desires, interactions and transactions end up in an economic system, and what are its consequences for society?

Economy seems to be about the hard and measurable truth. But what is the deal with our invisible values and motivations? How do they influence what we buy, how we behave and the kind of society we have? How can we use them to create an ideal society?
A personal currency
EGONOMIA transforms our values and motivations into a personal currency. Through playful interactions, the experiment will let you use this currency while questioning your own ideas. It shows how your motivations influence yourself, society and how you can use them to create another, better world. The first prototype of EGONOMIA will be tested at Economia festival on 28, 29 and 30 April 2017 in Natlab, Eindhoven.

Economia – A festival on economy, without the economists
EGONOMIA is part of Economia, a 3-day festival that explores new ideas and thinking about our economy. In this laboratory for ideas we can step out of the existing frame of thought. The festival presents unexpected and playful approaches looking at the essence of economy, thus establishing a fresh point of view on the economic system and our society.
