Other related core foundational ideas include

• equity
• racial justice
• post-materialism (less is the new more)
• interdependence
• substantial freedom
• collective individualism.

The purpose of the economy is the spread of substantial freedom: more than just stuff, but the ability to develop individual capacity. The objective of these patterns are good outcomes - growth and shared equity - and an economy that works for people. The antipatterns are the commonly found ideas that limit the spread of substantial freedom and promote materialism and plutonomy.
