ABSTRACT To meet today’s grand challenges, economics requires an understanding of how common objectives may be collaboratively set and met.

To move beyond such limiting assumptions, the article provides a renewed conception of the common good, going beyond the classic public good and commons approach, as a way of steering and shaping (rather than just fixing) the economy towards collective goals.
