During his PhD research, Ben investigated the role of alternative economic organisations in achieving a degrowth society. A particular focus in his work was on commons-based peer production and digital commons. For PROSPERA, Ben continues to investigate alternative economic organisations in the context of postgrowth and degrowth.

Ben also explores alternative ways of innovating and producing without the driver of profit or growth incentives.
