What Does Wealth.net Stand For?
Since the global financial crisis there is much distortion in the public discourse about what exactly was to blame. In it’s wake I predicted and feared a backlash swing toward socalism and collectivism, and that phrases like “capitalism”, “free enterprise” and “free markets” would become reviled and unusable.
Add to this a later epiphany that times were indeed changing, that there was emerging a new class of “conscious capitalism”, for lack of a better word for it. Based on a premise that running an “ethical business” was a competitive edge, not a liability. That the old, well worn characterizations of “profit at any price” capitalism weren’t really capitalist or operating within free markets (since they relied on artificial monopolies and political favoritism).
I began to regear this blog under the theme of “Rebooting Capitalism”, and here’s what I think ethical capitalists believe in:
- A capitalism that enriches the communities and those around you, rather than zero-sum cronyism that impoverishes many to the benefit of a politically connected few.
- Recognition that “wealth” is not money (or debt). It occurs only when production exceeds consumption and the difference is saved or invested sensibly and sustainably.
- Reform of the monetary system.
- The production of value is encouraged over mindless consumption.
- That teaching financial and economic literacy is a societal imperative.
- Where “Free Market” means everybody plays by the same rules.
- A public discourse where success is not penalized and ignorance is not celebrated.
- Peace. War today is a racket that makes the politically connected few immensely wealthy, at the expense of literally everybody and everything else.
At the moment I am writing a book on the subject of investing in sustainable businesses in local communities.
