The best way to survive the 21st century is together. The way we do things today does not need to be, nor can it be, the way we do things tomorrow.

Economic Reform

Another good article from the NEF (www.neweconomics.org), this time on practical, simple, realistic steps we can take towards economic reform to create a fairer, more stable system.

It breaks down into issues of scale, distance, stability, diversity, value, and participation.

Amongst the nice ideas in here is a sliding scale of regulation so “the smallest and most local institutions enjoying light-touch regulation, to the biggest having the strictest rules and severest controls.”
