Abstract: Abstract With this chapter, I offer a frame of reference that can be used to get behind the narratives of society, politics, academia, and the media about the transformation to a more sustainable world. By doing so, it also becomes obvious what is just not being told. It is the narratives, deep-seated basic assumptions about sustainability and how transformation could work. We always narrate these basic assumptions or beliefs without disclosing them. My guess is that we cannot manage transformation to a more sustainable economy until we become aware of what beliefs our narratives are based on. This is reflected on the unchanging parts of the narratives.
