# Authoring futures

ECSA is aiming to open up the medium, the language, of economy. Why? Because we want to decentralize the authorship of futures. ECSA wants to open source what remained still centralized in the social media: the information and protocol layer called the economy. We want to create a more expressive language to describe our economic networks – what kind of participants they have, what they produce, what they value, what are their relationships and how they change – and this language equally available and accessible for everybody. We want to do this, because the nature of our economic networks is bound by the expressivity of the language that can conceive them. See [Economic network](/economic-network.md).
