The New Economics Foundation was founded in 1986 by the leaders of The Other Economic Summit (TOES), which has forced issues such as international debt onto the agenda of the G7/G8 summit meetings. It has taken a lead in helping to establish new coalitions, such as the Jubilee 2000 debt campaign, the Ethical Trading Initiative, the UK Social Investment Forum and the Green Gauge ‘alternative’ indicators of social and environmental progress.
