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, by other individual companies, by the media, by NGOs, or by us as individuals.
The major challenge facing us is not about ethics.
Rather, the major challenge facing us is to design companies, markets and government in such a way that the pursuit of wealth, of justice, and of sustainability do not continue to remain in tension with each other.
