Abstract

This paper presents a longitudinal analysis of the International Inspiration Economy Project (IIEP), examining how its theory and application have evolved over a decade (2015-2025) through the structured adoption of Multidisciplinary (MD), Interdisciplinary (ID), and Transdisciplinary (TD) thinking. Through a holistic review of IIEP's labs and publications, the paper demonstrates that these approaches are not merely complementary but form an essential, evolutionary pipeline for tackling complex socio-economic problems that helped to prove the importance of the inspiration currency in this world.
The analysis reveals that MD labs served to deconstruct problems like the War on Gaza and the COVID-19 pandemic, appreciating their full scope through distinct disciplinary lenses. ID labs, such as those forging the core Inspiration Economy theory, integrated economics, psychology, and sociology to generate novel hybrid frameworks. Finally, TD labs, including the Gaza Resilience Lab and Poverty Elimination Labs, engaged in co-creation with communities in Gaza, Syria, India and Africa to produce practical, sustainable, and directly impactful solutions.

This study codifies the distinct purposes, approaches, and outputs of MD, ID, and TD labs within the IIEP, providing a replicable model for applied socio-economic research. The findings posit that the strategic progression from multidisciplinary analysis to interdisciplinary model-building, and finally to transdisciplinary co-creation, is a critical methodology for transforming abstract inspiration economy into tangible, community-owned change.
