Green Finance
24/11/16 07:05
The conventional economic-development model viewed environmental protection as a “luxury good” that societies could afford only after they became rich. Such thinking explains why the dramatic growth in global income, 80-fold in real terms during the last century, has been accompanied by a decline, according to the United Nations Environment Programme, in natural capital in 127 of 140 countries:

Universal Basic Income

Milton Friedman, an archetypal neo-liberal, was in favour of the Basic income. Market forces are a basic pillar of neo-liberalism, but instead of the current system whereby the strong can exploit the weak, persuasion will replace work compulsion:

Satisfying Work
21/04/16 08:41
How is it that we allow the majority of people on the planet to do work that is monotonous, meaningless and soul-deadening? - What makes work satisfying? Apart from a paycheck, there are intangible values that our current way of thinking about work simply ignores. It's time to stop thinking of workers as cogs on a wheel:

Stiglitz, Income

Joseph Stiglitz: „The only cure for the world’s malaise is an increase in aggregate demand. Far-reaching redistribution of income would help, as would deep reform of our financial system – not just to prevent it from imposing harm on the rest of us, but also to get banks and other financial institutions to do what they are supposed to do: match long-term savings to long-term investment needs.“

Tired of capitalism? There could be a better way.

As such, they should play an essential role in our economy. They also happen to be deeply woven into our lives as consumers, as means to manage our savings, pensions and insurance.
