Interest in new economic ideas is surging, but platforms that make research available to general audiences are few and far between. LEP offers a central resource for those looking to learn, discover, and share research about powerful economic ideas.

I felt this was a really unique/effective way to organize information, had a lot of fun navigating the insight database. Econ academics will *obviously* be interested, but if you're interested in how to display complex/nested data (like me) or UX then give this a look. Reminds me of how Andy Matuschak organizes his site, but for academic research. Interested to see where this goes.

Hi! We're thrilled to share LEP, a new kind of knowledge-base for discovering, organizing, and sharing economic research about policies that can help build the next economy. Today, economic knowledge — especially about ideas that have remained outside the mainstream, like basic income, land value tax, and codetermination — is scattered across dense academic texts, trapped in PDFs, and locked behind paywalls. LEP offers a platform that consolidates the scattered landscape of empirical research and makes it accessible to all. Our searchable network of insights, together with our comprehensive policy reports, makes it easy to learn about powerful economic ideas, or discover research to use towards your own ends. We're passionate about debating what the next economic system might look like, but we're also nerds about information architecture, and LEP's search features reflect that. From bidirectional links that create associative trails between the network of information, to advanced search filters that let you mix & match policies with specific areas of interest to hone in on precise relationships between information (try selecting a policy, like "basic income," and a tag, like "inequality," and scrolling through all the insights related to those two filters), we hope you'll find the Library useful. This site is only a first step — we can't wait to continue adding policies and developing LEP in ways that make the information more useful, accessible, and dynamic. We would love to hear your feedback and answer any questions.

@oshan_jarow Congratulations on the launch of (LEP). LEP is an essential resource for anyone interested in exploring and understanding the possibilities for a new economic paradigm. Well done on creating a valuable resource .

financial literacy is a very important subject. however, most of the schooling systems don't really bother to teach or even introduce to their students. this app might fill the gap. just shared with my tutor friend. thanks for making n sharing 👍

Thanks @naveed_rehman ! We agree that there are plenty of gaps between what curriculums cover, and the broader range of research that might be helpful for students to be exposed to. Let us know if you or your friend have any thoughts on how the kind of information held in LEP might be made more useful to students.
