Please share this with your global networks and people interested in conscious evolution, regenerative economics and bio-regeneration.
This is a follow-up to the February 6th Doughnut Economics Action Lab meeting on Universal Asset Generation Through Doughnut Economics, another event regarding world assets. Economics is one part of the whole system that also includes assets, investment and finance.
With all the new investor techno razzle dazzle about cryptocurrencies, they are just another investment vehicle. They seem to have no capacity to help Earth & humanity as a whole. They can help the individual investors, especially their creators. Can they also be used for tax-evasion and transfer of money for criminal purposes? It is hard to make sense of the word salad used by financial con artists.
I began working on the Commonwealth for Earth & Humanity in 2015 as a way to economically help nature and humanity. World spending on militaries, cyber warfare, espionage, surveillance, police and prisons grows each year, wasting resources needed for peace, stability, development and regeneration of nature. The Commonwealth for Earth & Humanity would be a system of Economics for Peace & Sustainability. It promotes Global Demilitarization through National Military Budget Reductions of 5% a Year, to free up resources to be used for spending on:
- Earth Care
- Human Development and Evolution
- Social Stability
- Infrastructure
Funding in these four area could lead to enlightened people, thriving families, creative communities, worker-owned cooperatives, regional integrated cooperation, international peace and a sustainable planet.
Today, Doughnut Economics comes closest to dealing with Human Needs & Earth Needs, but does not yet include the idling resources in world wealth that needs to be used for Earth and humanity.
- 8 billionaires have as much net worth as half of humanity.
- 26 billionaires own as much as the poorest 3.8 billion people.
- 2,153 billionaires have more wealth than 60% of humanity, 4.6 billion people.
To continue human evolution on Earth, we need a system of using world wealth to co-create a sustainable, thriving, creative Earth for all.
Join this conversation to explore this creative possibility. Meet others interested in Economics, Finance & Conscious Evolution for Earth.
