Reframing economy
I have been following online the Global Conscious Food System Summit currently happening in Bhutan and will write more about it later, probably next week. But for now I just want to quote one of the speakers today, Mr John Fullerton, Founder of Capital Institute. He said:
"Economy is not a machine to be optimised or controlled but it needs to be seen, managed and governed as if it were a living organism, made up of living systems called human beings".
I love this reframing. It moves the economy away from being a cold, emotionless machine optimised for growth and serving only a few, and reimagining it as a living organism: impermanent, always changing, and made up of human beings. But being alive doesn't automatically make something fair. A living system can still be governed to serve the few.
That's the real shift I believe Fullerton is pointing to: not just what the economy is, but how it is governed. Right now, too many of us live as fearful, exhausted servants to the economy. It should be the other way around: an economy governed to serve humans, with people and all living beings at its center.
Curious to hear what you think!
