Will we be able to tackle two major challenges?
1. Replace the outdated GNP (Gross National Product) by an Indicator that counts People and Quality. Because that is what economy is about: to fulfill the needs of people in a sustainable way.
Such an indicator is proposed by Interdependent Economy, see Chapter II,3 ' The Measure of Good Economy - Money or People?'
2. Educate a new homo economicus, one who sees the economy as a circular process that turns around and around, bringing back our own inputs to ourselves while affecting many others in the meantime. This is to replace the old homo economicus who sees the economy as a linear process of more and more. A view that legitimatizes exploitation and destruction of others and nature.
