In this article Gover Buijs, professor Economy & Society at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, argues to solve six big pre-corona problems within the economy during the restructuring of the economy:
- Ecological problem: from linear to circular economy
- Financialization
- Growing inequality
- Incorrect pricing; no integration of externalities
- Concentration of power due to collection of data
- Psychological effects due to ‘rat race’ economy
“That a free market economy ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’, will not disappear before she’s fully formed”
