Economy and Sustainable Development
Development is not just about economic growth.
​
It is about generating more market and better consumption by lifting people out of poverty. Prosperity for all.
It is finally to guarantee and sustain the essential rights: dignified access to work, food, education, health and justice.
It is about the integration, participation and commitment of all sectors of society and business in the development of democratic institutions. The welfare state, reloaded.
It is stopping the race to zero of multinational companies and super wealthy individuals on tax liability. Yes, taxes. A tax revolution.
It is the commitment to an inclusive and responsible economic system that helps to regenerate the social fabric torn by years of abuse and suffocation of wrong policies.
And to make this sustainable development model possible, we need to rethink the economy.
Thinking an economy driven by the Digital Revolution and the Information and Knowledge Revolution.
​
Characterized by a redistribution of powers and forces that generate a fair balance of benefits and responsibilities among all members of the ecosystem.
Giving birth to new forms of work and producing an evolutionary leap towards knowledge societies.
Putting the future of digital capitalism in the hands of its true protagonists, the people.
We are part of a global movement working for a fairer and more responsible economic system for everyone, people and planet.
​
An imperfect movement, not yet fully articulated, learning as we go, but with the commitment to generate a dynamic of virtuous and transformative interaction that produces a better distribution of opportunities and benefits.
​
That requires the redefinition of the concept of capital. A definition that goes beyond economic and private property terms, that includes the common welfare and allows us to speak in a new language.
​
A model with an equation introducing as a key factor the preservation and prosperity of life in all its forms, in line with the rest of the terms.
A new equation for a new system.
