Marketgreen politics is the position that the market economy is the most effective known way to allocate resources — but only when externalities are priced, competition is fair, and the polluter pays for the cost of pollution. Tax should shift from work to harm, not grow the public sector for its own sake. Finland needs a credible market-liberal Green voice in parliament so that climate, rights, and competitiveness are decided together rather than traded against each other.
I helped launch the vaihdavihreisiin.fi campaign in June 2026 with dozens of economically literate Greens, alongside the Coalition Party congress. The point was simple: liberals and social liberals no longer have a home on the centre-right, and the Greens are already the country’s leading market-liberal party. The campaign published a Marketgreen Manifesto and an open WhatsApp community — the conversation is still going.
Marketgreen is not a brand exercise. It is a substantive economic-policy stance: harm taxation over labour taxation, competition over incumbents, open procurement over vendor lock-in, and a state that buys technology on its own terms. The work on this page connects that stance to AI-era industrial policy, public procurement portability, and the broader Greens economic record.
