POSITIVE ECONOMY, AS AN INTEGRETAD APPROACH
✚ Construction of an overall framework for a positive economy
✚ Based on rational altruism
✚ In the interest of the future generations
✚ Able to address major challenges that the world is facing today or will be in 2030 : ecological, human, financial, technological, etc.
✚ That is intrinsically compatible with pragmatic economic imperatives, that is to say that is dynamic and flourishing
✚ A 30 expert commission mandated by François Hollande and headed by Jacques Attali
✚ Joint construction of positive economy model (theoretical and ethical basis), policy recommendations (45 of them), and index construction (positive economy index)
✚ Example : a) theoretical basis : altruism can be fostered ; b) index : professor attention ; c) policy : develop altruism in the educational system

9 sub-dimensions
Global framework - Dynamics for a positive economy From dimensions to indicators
+ Provides a holistic approach to positive economy through 3 core dimensions: time (rational altruism between generations), space (rational altruism between territories) and human communities (rational altruism between stakeholders).
+ Core principles of positive economy thus get disseminated through all human activities (politics, culture, business, social development, leisure, etc.), creating a movement of continuous progress (cf. the symbol of the Fraser spiral).
+ This movement is anchored into real life, can be observed into existing social innovations and is connected to recurrent “cycles” impacting all economies.
+ Positive interactions between generations are about sharing knowledge (education, lifelong learning), ensuring a balanced place for all generations in society (participation) while maintaining a reasonable and sustainable financial situation across generations.
+ Positive interactions between territories are about anticipating the needs of resources (acknowledging the inequalities in resource availability), giving a balanced access to resources for all (through appropriate connections) and aligning around clear goals and actions to help the poorest (solidarity).
+ Positive interactions between stakeholders are about appropriate governance (co-habitation), opportunity to progress (dynamism) and to build inclusive societies (care).

ROADBLOCKS OF THE PROCESS+ ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED
✚No BOP participation in index construction
✚Limited understanding of the needs of the "clients” or “targets” of the index
✚To-date, limited other country appropriation of the index (despite an international commission for the index construction)
✚Politicians awareness (of it) to be grown : not a centerpiece in politics today
✚Articulation with other movements : social and solidary economy, sustainable development, collaborative economy, etc.
