A new financial policy for democracy, dignity, and widespread prosperity
Dezernat Zukunft is a non-partisan policy institute that aims to explain and re-think monetary, fiscal, and economic policy in an accessible and coherent way.
Our articles and proposals are aimed at political decision-makers, at academics and the media, and the next generation of thinkers and citizens. With our work we aim to broaden public debates and support an inclusive process of political will formation.
The core values guiding all our work are democracy, dignity, and widespread prosperity.
OUR VALUES
Our work is underpinned by three convictions;
- Human flourishing, rather than the maximisation of profits, capital or growth, constitutes the centre and guiding principle of a good society.
- All human and economic activity must conform with the planetary boundaries
- Technocratic institutions and markets are not ends in themselves, but social technologies to be used in pursuit of democratically chosen ends. Democracy is the highest organising principle of a good society.

Internships

Speculative application
We may not be John Maynard Keynes, but we take the values of dignity, prosperity and democracy seriously. Our current economic system does not. Help us change that.
We're looking for people who are willing to think big, dig deep, and polish economic and fiscal policy proposals until they both stand up to the scrutiny of other experts and bring about meaningful change. We see our role as providing you with the best possible support in this process.
We offer you an environment in which you and your ideas can develop into the best version of itself. And a platform that can carry these ideas into public debate, whether through German and English daily and weekly newspapers, publications in journals for experts and public administration, podcasts, interviews, or - quite classically - on television.
Currently we have no vacancies, but we are looking forward to your initiative. If you are planning a specific project that you would like to realise with us, please send us a CV and a covering letter that, in addition to a short (!) project description (max. 2 pages), answers the following questions: (1) Why is the project important? (2) Why are you the right person to successfully implement this project?, (3) Why do you want to realise this project with us? Send applications to info[at]dezernatzukunft.org
