    Nine Ideas for Rescuing Capitalism from Itself

    Nine Ideas for Rescuing Capitalism from Itself

    Overview

    Capitalism is in crisis.

    And with the 2022 war in Ukraine, the impending global food crisis, and the already burgeoning inflation / cost-of-living crisis (...to say nothing of the environmental crises confronting us...), it's about to get a lot worse.

    With the main alternative to capitalism (the planned economy) discredited by history, the question facing us now is: what can we do about capitalism? This opinion piece provides nine structured ideas for rescuing capitalism from itself. The ideas are arranged in three groups of three relating to: (i) Economics and the environment, (ii) the corporate world, and (iii) the financial world.
