A better economic system
Question from the Internet:
“Could an economic system be created that surpasses all existing ones in benefits and quality of life for its practitioners?”
Trade and economy are the external representations of basic human connections, relationships.
Thus we can’t fundamentally change how trade and economy works until we change how we relate to each other.
Since we are all born with an inherently self-serving, self-justifying, ruthlessly competitive, subjective nature, regardless of the ideology, name, external form, all our economic, trade systems are based on exploiting others, succeeding at the expense of others.
This is why, in order to build a better, positive, equal and sustainable economic, social system, first we need to learn how to build “Nature-like", mutually integrated, mutually responsible and mutually complementing human relationships with each other.
Then we will “trade” with each other as the cells of our own biological body “trade" behave when each other, for the benefit, well-being of the whole system.
