Welcome

Open Economies is a project of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School.

Led by Berkman Center Senior Fellow James Moore and Open Economies Legal Director Sarah Guerrero, Open Economies is a research and action program aimed at bridging the worldwide digital divide. The project engages a wide community of contributors in a creative process of dialogue and proactive policy-making, while also working closely with existing government and business leaders.

Open Economies is committed to efforts at reaching out around the world, connecting diverse people with diverse points of view, and using commerce as a way to move jointly forward to create a more inclusive, sustainable world. One of our core beliefs is that in the area of policy to promote digital entrepreneurship much is in fact not known. Thus it is our intent not to simply disseminate a new orthodoxy, but to explore "sensible heresies" that may lead to breakthroughs.
