The 300 Movements

Over the past three years, I have documented more than 300 individual movements (often with many, many organisations that make up that movement) that share a common thread of the wellbeing economy puzzle.

I am currently making an attempt to analyse and catalogue these movements. You will see new additions posted below, and you can currently access the list to date at this link. Within each movement, there are one to perhaps thousands of organisations, communities, scenes, and groups. 

See prominent organisations within the movements here.

Terms I will use interchangeably to describe the wellbeing economy we are transitioning to: Wellbeing Economy, New Economy, Regenerative Economy, Community Wealth, Game B. My goal is to take this mainstream, and currently these are the best umbrella terms that resonate across mainsteam audiences.

This is still an ongoing experiment, and you can track all my memetics experiments via the Culture Science page. See these links for organisations and leaders within these movements.

List of Movements by Rating

Not all movements, organisations, frameworks, etc are the same. Some remain theory-only. Some are proven and have been working for decades. Others are brand new and unproven. Others are super niche. They are rated here by how mainstream, accessible, and effective they are, with a rating of S through D.

S-Tier Movements & Organisations

These movements combine inspiring storytelling with accessible entry points, proven practical impact, and strong cultural momentum. They’re designed with cooperative structures and ecological awareness from the start. Ready for mainstream breakthrough.

A-Tier Movements & Organisations

Strong movements with significant traction and proven impact. May need better mainstream translation, stronger governance structures, or clearer ecological practices to reach S-Tier. Close to mainstream breakthrough.

C-Tier Movements & Organisations

Good ideas with limited real-world proof or significant accessibility barriers. Often academic-focused or lacking practical application. Need major translation work or more examples to gain traction.

D-Tier Movements & Organisations

Primarily resistance-focused, theoretical without implementation, or have problematic elements (gatekeeping, divisive language, extractive structures). May have cultural momentum but lack constructive pathway forward.
