2. Set of rules for long term sustainable well-being

Establish a common set of rules for the global economic system that emphasizes not short-term monetary benefits, but long term sustainable well-being.


 This would mean rewriting the current economic models and investment opportunities so asto encourage a move away from the irrational idea of perpetual growth,with consumption and consumerism the engines of this growth.

These would be replaced with new models that emphasize employment and avoid the productivity trap,which focuses on improving productivity while ignoring the impact it has on both employment and the ecological boundaries within which it must operate.
