It’s well past time we start thinking of a new next model…

An economy or economies based on manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga could set everyone up to live well, within connected communities and planetary boundaries. What if rāhui were respected and our ecosystems were regenerated, or our sense of obligation to each other meant that no one went hungry?

… is this it? Who knows. At least an alternative is being articulated. Saying that capitalism is the final state is like saying being a teenager is the final state of human growth. Once you start thinking of the status quo as a phase and not an end state… things get interesting and freeing. Economics is not the law of physics. The “Divine Right of Kings” was; until it wasn’t.
