Network for
New Economic Thinking

We are a new initiative connecting MPs with experts to help make the case for economic approaches which can meet this century’s challenges. Through briefings, training, one-to-one advice and support with Parliamentary interventions, NNET aims to equip MPs to challenge outdated economic thinking and bring new ideas into Parliament – around investment, tax, public services, ownership and the future of work.

Events

We host regular in person and online events for MPs in which economic experts explain relevant issues. These events are an opportunity for MPs to learn, ask questions and unpick economic issues that are relevant to them and their constituents.

Resources

We publish briefings on topical economic issues which showcase the latest research and evidence from think tanks and economists.

Experts

We are supported by a range of economic experts from think tanks, policy organisations and academic institutions including; Kings College London, The Equality Trust, Common Wealth, The Autonomy Institute and more.
