发帖数: 6339 | 1 Neoliberalism or neo-liberalism[1] is the 20th-century resurgence of 19th-
century ideas associated with economic liberalism and free-market capitalism
.[2]:7[3] It is generally associated with policies of economic
liberalization, including privatization, deregulation, globalization, free
trade, austerity, and reductions in government spending in order to increase
the role of the private sector in the economy and society;[4][12] however,
the defining features of neoliberalism in both thought and practice have
been the subject of substantial scholarly debate.[13][14] In policymaking,
neoliberalism was part of a paradigm shift that followed the failure of the
Keynesian consensus in economics to address the stagflation of the 1970s.
Progressive capitalism is an approach to capitalism that seeks to improve
the current neoliberal American capitalism that emerged in 1980.[1]
Progressive capitalism aims to improve economic results through four
defining beliefs, namely the vital role businesses play in the economy by
creating jobs, fostering innovation, enabling voluntary exchange, and
providing competitive goods and services; the recognition of the important
role public goods, public institutions, public services and public
infrastructure play in supporting businesses including: research, schools,
health care, social insurance, taxation, labor law and regulation of markets
; the need for the state to be involved in design and oversight of the
playing field; and the integration of social justice, stewardship of natural
resources and responsibility to all major stakeholders.

We are facing global challenges - from migration to climate change, the
flooding of coastal cities and the extinction of species. Challenges that
require radical change in our society if humanity is to survive. We all know
this, climate deniers notwithstanding. It's already too late to avoid the
catastrophe, but with the right policies we can hope to contain the damage
and save most of the planet for our children, what the UN calls "future
generations".
In fact, that is the right term and the future matters: That is what
Stiglitz's latest book is all about. It's a diagnosis of our problems but
more importantly, it proposes a solution: Progressive capitalism. A solution
adapted to America, its culture and traditions.
The point is not to turn the United States into Denmark. Stiglitz knows that
would never work. So he has an alternative, better solution. There's not
space here to go over what progressive capitalism is, do read the book, you'
ll see why it's key for our salvation. I can guarantee that you won't waste
your time and it will give you hope that in fact, something concrete can be
done to change the course of History - as it did for me. |
