Purple Economy
Edit
The content is sourced from: https://handwiki.org/wiki/Finance:Purple_economy

The purple economy is that part of the economy which contributes to sustainable development by promoting the cultural potential of goods and services. “The purple economy refers to taking account of cultural aspects in economics. It designates an economy that adapts to the human diversity in globalization and that relies on the cultural dimension to give value to goods and services.”

sustainable development cultural potential cultural dimension

1. Territorial Economics

The International Appeal of 7 June 2020,[1][2][3] signed by architects, chefs, Nobel laureates in Economics and leaders of international organizations,[4] defines the purple economy as a form of territorial economics, in which “territories that successfully preserve and promote the different aspects of their original identities will enjoy a real competitive advantage. This cultural revitalization of [the] local environment does not however signify a disinterest in more distant societies. [The] appetite for other cultures and [the] need to understand them better cannot help but expand in the world of tomorrow.” From this perspective, the purple economy is universal by nature: “All territories, including those less economically and technologically well-endowed, have a cultural message to share. It is a matter of giving each of them the chance to showcase what makes them unique, in a world where homogenization is a sign of devitalization.”[5][6][7][8][9][10]

2. Surge in Culture

The context of the purple economy is that of the growing importance of culture in contemporary society.[11] The factors involved in this include in particular:[12] a global economic and political readjustment in favour of emerging countries, a return to local environments (once again perceived as centres for stability), new forms of claims (following on from the collapse of the great ideologies), growing social demand for quality based on cultural consumption patterns (which go hand in hand with the logic of popularization, individualization and longer life expectancies), innovative approaches (that presuppose a cultural state of mind and interdisciplinarity conducive to serendipity), and so on.

3. Scope

The purple economy is multidisciplinary, in that it enriches all goods and services by capitalizing on the cultural dimension inherent to every sector. The sensory, experiential economy is one application of this.[12]

It differs from the cultural economy, which is sector-based.

In June 2013, the conclusions of a first inter-institutional working group on the purple economy, formed of experts from UNESCO, the OECD, the International Organisation of the Francophonie, French ministries, various companies and civil society. That document underscored the impact of the phenomenon of culturalization, which now affects the entire economy, with follow-on effects on employment and training. The report differentiates between purple jobs and purplifying professions: the former are directly linked to the cultural environment by their very purpose (like town planners and developers), while the latter are merely caused to transform under the effect of culturalization (such as positions in human resources or in marketing and communications).[13]

Another reference document published in June 2017[12] mentioned various aspects of the human environment in which economics are likely to produce cultural benefits: architecture, art, colours, enjoyment, ethics, heritage, imagination, learning, social skills, singularity, etc.

4. Origin

The term first appeared in 2011, in France, in a manifest[14] published on Le Monde.fr. The signatories[15] included the board members of the association Diversum,[16] which organized the first International Purple Economy Forum under the patronage of UNESCO, the European Parliament and the European Commission.[17][18][19][20]

5. Connection to Sustainable Development

The purple economy emphasizes the presence of externalities: the cultural environment from which agents draw and on which, in return, they leave their own footprints is a common good. As a result, the purple economy sees culture as an axis for sustainable development.[21][22][23][24]

In fact, culture has been a whole sub-section of sustainability since the beginning. Corporate social responsibility can even be said to have originated in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1966.

This issue is just one of the different components of sustainable development, alongside concerns relating to the natural environment (green economy) and to the social environment (social economy). The complementary nature of these aspects of the sustainable economy was reaffirmed in a call[25][26] published by Le Monde Économie in 2015, leading up to the 21st United Nations Conference on Climate Change.
