Living Economics is tackling the “K” shape of the economy, in which people find they are either on the upwardly mobile diagonal of prosperity, or on the down diagonal in a race to the bottom. The arrangement is divisive, unsustainable, immoral, and damaging to reliable prosperity. It breeds the Three P’s – Politics. Parasitism. Privilege. In corridors of leadership, the cancer starts from lack of accountability as governance fails. Interestingly the “K” protocol feeds on government deficits.
