Beyond healing the economy, we can use this crisis to launch a new era in human society<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In medicine, diagnosing an illness is considered a good thing. It allows us to pinpoint the problem and treat it. The same applies to the economy. The economic and financial crises are global, affecting virtually every country in the world. It is hard to estimate the overall damage wrought by the crisis, as we are nowhere near its end. However, it is clear that the crisis is a continuation of the downturn of 2008, and has emerged as the greatest economic and financial challenge the world has faced since the 1930s\u2019 Great Depression.

Into the Future<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The failure of capitalism, as expressed in the current crisis, demonstrates our urgent need to build a new economic paradigm. The heads of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) recently issued a warning that \u201cThe overall number of unemployed is still at 200 million worldwide, close to the peak recorded at the depth of the Great Recession.\u201d…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting Words into Action<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
