Noon on Thursday - Host Joy Gilfilen interviews Ilona Krohn, an economist, who talks about how local taxes, governance, and crime is impacted by the embedded behaviors of global economic business models. It is a different view obscured by the common belief that profits are considered good business in most situations. Yet, profits are contrary to good business when we are trying to solve the challenges of social services, public health, wellness, and human happiness.

Ilona unpacks how the hidden and embedded conflicts create destructive financial behaviors in different public, bureaucratic, NGO's and corporate systems that can spawn increases in crime, violence, tax addiction, and ultimately wars. Her research shows that more concrete and steel does not stop crime, it promotes privateering; and she concludes that we must create new business models and local, community-based solutions to solve the human issues of public safety.
