Capitalism has gone astray. Today we face ecological exhaustion persistent inequality financialization stress on communities short-termism and new power concentrations. An avalanche of new economic thinking and a reorientation of European values show the way toward a different economy. A new perspective is necessary if we want to implement the Sustainable Development Goals and if we consider our planet as 'Our Common Home ' for present and future generations. This book argues that European economies should be the initiators of a global transition toward a sustainable and inclusive world economy. Together amid severe geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges they need to develop their own perspective on what a good economy really is in distinction to Chinese state capitalism and American big business capitalism. Crucially this requires the rediscovery of key European values a coherent view on responsible capitalism and a new self-awareness as a global player for the Common Good in today's and tomorrow's world. |Capitalism Reconnected Toward a Sustainable Inclusive and Innovative Market Economy in Europe
