Populism and extremism thrive on fear and hopelessness, inequality and poverty
Neoliberal Economics has dragged the World to the Abyss
'Neoliberal capitalism has contributed to the rise of fascism’- Nobel laureate economist, Joseph Stiglitz
The neoliberal populists have asset-stripped and poisoned our minds, but, believe me, we can take back control. This, in a nutshell, is the gist of this posting.

Nota bene
Economics must become a vehicle of hope and the path to a shared prosperity and it should connect with peoples’ aspirations and dreams. We are running out of time. If our field does not change, if the revolution in thinking I am calling for does not happen, if we do not revisit the rich and fertile soil in which economics was born, that being moral philosophy amid the broader questions of human existence, meaning, purpose, and ecology, then, not only will we have retreated from the chance to play a constructive role in solving the multiple global crises, we will also inherit well deserved scorn and contempt. The opportunity is upon us. Let us seize it. Carpe Diem!
