Achieving Sustainability: A Call to Redefine Our Global Economic Model.
<p>After 10 years working in the corporate sector as a senior management and expert consultant, I have lost complete faith in the current economic paradigm’s ability to resolve the sustainability crisis it has caused.</p>
<p>Here are some of the reasons:<br />
1- <strong>Improving social and environmental conditions is expensive</strong>, it generally means an increase in cost and a loss of profitability. It can be done on niche markets but not at the needed scale.<br />
2- E<strong>xploitation is incentivized</strong>, regeneration isn’t. Eg: a dead fish on the market has market value, not a live fish in the ocean. So people are incentivized to exploit natural resources, not to let them regenerate. It logically ends up with planetary overshoot and a global-scale tragedy of the commons — what is happening today.</p>
