Topic: What is sharing
The political economy of sharing
Page / 20th November 2013Despite the prevalence of sharing throughout the natural world and in family life, we have largely failed to create a global community in which sharing is embodied in our international economic and political structures. Humanity urgently needs to move beyond the restrictive ideologies of the past and embrace solutions that meet the common needs of people in all nations.
Sharing locally and nationally
Page / 20th November 2013Economic sharing has long been central to human civilisation by strengthening the social fabric of societies, improving levels of well-being and promoting social equity. The critical question today is whether we choose to support and scale up national and local systems of sharing, or whether we allow them to be further undermined by those who are ideologically opposed to putting sharing at the centre of policymaking.
Global economic sharing
Page / 17th November 2013We live in a globalised world where the crises we face, from wealth disparities to climate change and resource wars, affect all nations to a greater or lesser extent. Given this reality and the enormous discrepancies that exist in levels of affluence between rich and poor nations, any process of economic sharing cannot be limited to a solely national context and must be actively applied on a planetary scale.
