How you can help make companies, markets, and government fit for purpose.If we are serious about transforming capitalist economies, we need to start by looking at how these systems connect us as human beings. Today, few relationships are personal.Instead, we are linked en masse through vast, complex networks (financial, political, social, digital).The shape and rules of engagement of those networks exerts a powerful influence on our behaviour as governments, as companies, as NGOs, and as individuals.At the same time, these networks seem to be beyond the possibility of being influenced, let alone controlled, by governments, other individual companies, the media, NGOs, or us as individuals.The major challenge facing us is not about ethics. Rather, it is to design companies, markets, and government in such a way that the pursuit of justice, and sustainability no longer competes with the pursuit of wealth: but instead forms a self-reinforcing virtuous cycle.
