The global multi-crisis is accelerating, it affects
all aspects of our lives: democracy, climate, biodiversity,
migration, justice, equality, institutions, farming ... And yet,
there is no mainstream debate about the issue at the core of many -
if not all - of these problems: our economies. How they function,
what they deliver and how they are designed is not really part of
our public conversation.
The economic system that is
running our societies has a very narrow focus: We must "grow the
GDP", i.e. make more money, no matter the cost. Rather than
improving our lives, this logic is now tearing our societies and
our planet apart. But no one seems to be working on a viable
political alternative.
Or maybe some people are?
And we have just not been paying attention?
This is not a ticketed event. Donations on the door
will be very welcome to offset our costs.
