Our economy should not be guided by market principles but by humanitarian principles. That’s the fundamental shift that will turn the ship around in the 21st-century. A thriving humanity will improve the market, but making the market thrive does not necessarily improve humanity.

Case in point: We should massively front-end resources in the direction of children. It will provide no immediate monetary profits for anyone but it’s our greatest chance for long-term economic profit and sustainability for everyone. Our most precious resource is a child’s brain.

A thriving humanity will improve the market, but making the market thrive does not necessarily improve humanity. Collectively, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Koch Bros. and all the Mega-Corps are bigger than the Govt. of USA. The Pandemic became an opportunity for "Grab! Grab! Grab!"

You are absolutely backwards. Which had already been proven, and you’ve ignored it.

It debilitates humanity when the market has priority over humanity.

My proposal to use experiences of values as a means of payment and a form of capital. Value- neutrality of economics is also a political problem. jheconomics.com/bartering-va…

Bartering Value - Jackson Hole Economics

Much of the debate about the relationship between capitalism and democracy, economics and ethics, individual and community overlooks a very important element: values and their role in our lives.

We are part of one planet, and we are one humanity. And unless we live with that consciousness and shape every moment of our production and consumption with that consciousness, we are going to destroy ourselves.

Start by removing the Bachelor of Science accreditation for Economics. Nationwide. Religion is an Art, not a Science, and that logic needs to start in the university systems.

Not if we stay on this book-burning tech censorship authoritarian spree of silencing everyone who doesn’t believe in your politics in the name of “safety.” In no world does your party’s current path get you to where you want to be. It’s just sowing further angst.
