I'm rallying a tribe who will join my mission to save our world.
Our economic system is broken. Let's fix it.
Neoliberal capitalism isn't working.
Never before has there been such a huge gulf in wealth between the richest and poorest. But now, with the shift COVID has brought about and a rise in the collective consciousness about social, economic, and racial inequality, we're now awake to the opportunity for change. It's down to us to take it.
Inclusivity is the answer.
Following the global financial crisis in 2008, it was clear our economic system was broken. Yes, capitalism has lifted many out of poverty, but it has also come at a grave cost in the form of environmental, social and inequality. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few while wages and living standards fall for billions.
We don’t need a return to systems of the past. Instead, the answer is looking forward to a new economic system - a system that embodies Inclusive economics.

What is inclusive economics and how does it work?
People are able to participate fully in economic life and have greater say over their future. People are able to access and participate in markets as workers, consumers and business owners. Transparency around and common knowledge of rules and norms allow people to start a business, find a job, or engage in markets. Technology is more widely distributed and promotes greater individual and community well-being.
More opportunities are available to enable upward mobility for more people. All segments of society, especially poor or socially disadvantaged groups, are able to take advantage of these opportunities. Inequality is declining rather than increasing. People have equal access to a more solid economic foundation, including equal access to adequate public goods, services and infrastructure, such as public transit, education, clean air and water.
An economy is increasingly producing enough goods and services to enable broad gains in well-being and greater opportunity. Good job and work opportunities are growing and incomes are increasing, especially for the poor. Economic systems are transforming for the betterment of all, including and especially poor and excluded communities. Economic growth and transformation is not only captured by aggregate measures of economic output (such as GDP), but must include and be measured by other outcomes that capture overall well-being.
Economic and social wealth is sustained over time, thus maintaining inter-generational well-being. Economic and social wealth is the social worth of the entire set of assets that contribute to human well-being, including human produced (manufactured, financial, human, social) and natural capital. In the case of natural capital, human use must preserve or restore nature’s ability to produce the ecosystem of goods and services that contribute to human well-being. Decision-making must thus incorporate the long-term costs and benefits, and not merely the short-term gains, of human use of our full asset base.

Inclusive economics is part of the greater puzzle
Over the last few years, there has been a rise in collective consciousness. No longer can social injustice, inequality and economic suffering continue - it's an exciting opportunity and It's up to us to grab it with both hands!
Neither you nor I, nor any government or leader will solve poverty. We all need to solve poverty, racial inequality, social injustice and climate change. We can do it together.
It starts today.
Are you in?

Why do micro money transfers matter? In this book we discuss the impact they have on peoples’ wellbeing, and the importance of transparency in an industry riddled with “confusion” pricing. It also outlines how the future of micro money transfers will develop, and how additional financial services can be layered on top to welcome the underserved into the formal financial system.
Generation Hope: How Inclusive Economics Can Help Us All Thrive
It has become clear: Our current economic system is broken. Growth at all costs is unsustainable.
It is easy to get discouraged when faced with the reality of the current climate crisis, economic instability, and the vast income inequality across the globe. It’s obvious that our trajectory is aimed toward destruction. But is it possible to make adjustments to that path, and if so, who's going to lead us?
