Five thoughts, ideas, insights, or quotes to power up your mind to think differently and creatively about life and who we are. Put all previous thinking away and open up a brand new world of the Supermind. YOUR SuperMind.
This week – New Economics.
There is plenty of current thinking that believes that the world economy is broken. All the previous economic structures and systems put in place are failing and it’s time to rethink how to build a workable financial future. And that’s what I’m about to do this week in SuperMind Saturday. The moment for new economics is here.
1. Money For The Few.
History has shown that financiers have grabbed more and more control of the world over the years. This means the greater share of world money has been in the hands of a dwindling number of the population.
How do we reverse this? How do we ensure that money does not end up with fewer and fewer people who decide the destiny of the planet?
2. Changing Our Economics.
Famous naturalist David Attenborough brilliantly said, ‘Real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics’. To me that’s exactly right. But harder to set in motion.
What is the first change we should make or enforce that will lead us to a better economic space for most people?
3. New Seeds Needed.
As in nature life grow through reproduction. And much of nature’s means to do that is to seed the ground for fresh future growth. This has been replicated by the banking system via business loans and start-up grants called Seed Funding. That activity has petered out. New seeds are required for new ground. Local ideas have to flourish. Fledgling enterprises require early help. Business can’t be big if it can’t get going in the first place.
How do we seed the future without banks? Could part of our taxes be redirected to this purpose? Or, what are the seeds we can sow that aren’t necessarily money funding (like brain banks)?
4. End the Global?
The last five decades have seen the demise of thousands of smaller companies. Good localised or national ones. They have been swamped by huge global corporations that drink up all the money and squeeze out businesses that are trying to hold on. This trend shows no end. This will only continue more unabated.
How do we protect the local and smaller companies? Or, how do we prevent this steady march to huge global domination that’s killing communities and high street trade? Limit them in some way?
5. A Society For the Future.
Economics builds society. It dictates our work, trade, distribution, spending, taxation, and shared resources. This, in turn, drives how we live our lives both mentally, emotionally, and physically. This is society. So, economics are the developer of lifestyles and life circumstances in this way. Look around today and see the economics of the last twenty or so years in action. Which leads me to the big questions here.
Should economics have this power anymore? Are economics no longer creating but harming? Could we base our new societies of the future on another ethos we can all buy into? What is our economic future??
Food for mental thought for your mind about economics. New economics maybe?
