Proposal no. 6: the search for an alternative to market capitalism.
Goals of Proposal no. 6
-
(1) To design an economic system:
- (a) that rewards everyone in proportion to their relative contribution to society’s progress, and that does not create such large differences in income that they lead to human rights violations (as market capitalism does);
- (b) that helps us find ways to use as little as possible of the world’s human and economic resources for armaments, in order to establish and maintain peace and security around the world;
- (c) that helps us protect our environment, fight global warming more efficiently, and achieve the transformation toward global sustainable resource consumption and production presented in the GRO 2024;
- (d) that takes into consideration (and takes advantage of) recent technological progress, namely the Internet and AI (see also PJ no 1 no 53-55).
- (2) To improve significantly our international economic and financial information systems, in order to help us develop the new economic system.
