Martin Wilding Davies

Martin Wilding Davies (born 1957 in Cardiff, Wales) is a Welsh screenwriter, political theorist, and designer noted for his design of the Welsh street fashion label, The Red Dragonhood.[1]

Davies is the economic theorist responsible for the Uned ('unit' in Welsh), a negative interest complementary currency system he proposed to stimulate economic activity in the moribund Welsh economy,[2] and with economist Chris Cook of the Nordic Enterprise Trust, a proposal to establish the Royal Mint as a capital partnership.[3]

A social activist, Davies is the founder and leader of Newid,[4] a progressive political party in Wales.[5] Newid ('change' in Welsh) is the world's first popular movement for demarchy, a form of democracy in which government policy is decided by representative groups of citizens randomly selected by sortition (lot) rather than by career politicians chosen in elections.
