Abstract
Inspired by the work of Eric von Hippel on ‘free innovation’ and Stefania Milan on activist movements, I define ‘beyonders’ as agents who express their dissatisfaction about a current economic regime not by trying to change it, as innovative insiders or outsiders would, but by trying to create alternative spaces away from the established regime. My main argument is that, just as sometimes outsiders may be better placed than insiders to disrupt an established regime, ‘beyonders’ may sometimes be better placed than outsiders to seed transformative change. If so, it may be in society’s interest to facilitate and promote the work of innovative beyonders who will prepare the ground for innovative outsiders.
