Alexa Clay (born March 21, 1984 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is a writer, public speaker and researcher with a focus on subculture, informal economy, and new economic thinking.[1] Clay is the co-author of The Misfit Economy, a book published by Simon & Schuster[2] in 2015, that examines the role of creative thinking and ingenuity among society's "misfits."[3] The Economist called the book "a paean to the quirkier members of society."[4] The book was named a top business book to read by The Telegraph[5] and the World Economic Forum.[6] The Misfit Economy has also been reviewed by The Financial Times,[7] Salon.com,[8] The New Statesman, and the BBC.[9] Clay has appeared in Dazed Digital,[10] VICE,[11] on NPR's Marketplace,[12] The Takeaway,[13] Australia's morning show Weekend Sunrise[14] and the Laura Flanders Show. The Misfit Economy loosely inspired the NatGeo show Underworld Inc, for which Clay was a consulting producer.[15]

Currently, Clay leads the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce in the U.S. working on topics like Universal Basic Income, inclusive growth, and creativity in education.[16] Clay has been active in the fields of social business, technology studies, and social change.[17][18] She has been an advocate for "inclusive innovation," examining the ways in which entrepreneurs in the black market and informal economy are given access to economic opportunity.[19]

Formerly, Clay led work focused on scaling social innovation at Ashoka[20] and co-founded the League of Intrapreneurs, a network focused on scaling the movement of social intrapreneurship.[21] Along with John Elkington and Maggie de Pree she was the co-author of The Social Intrapreneur: A Field Guide for Corporate Changemakers, a report sponsored by the Skoll Foundation.[22]

In 2013, Clay started performing as "the Amish Futurist," an alter ego she developed to bring more existential reflection into the tech scene.[23][24] The Amish Futurist has performed at SXSW, re:publica, Tech Open Air Berlin, and the DEAF Biennale.[25]

Clay grew up the daughter of two anthropologists. She has written about her experience growing up with psychiatrist and alien abduction research Dr. John E. Mack for Aeon Magazine.[26] Clay received her BA from Brown University and an MSc. in Economic History from Oxford University.[27]
