The Goldilock’s Economy: A Conversation with economist Michael Mezzatesta

It’s not that everything that’s happened in capitalism is bad, but when it comes to economics, perhaps we should be asking what this endless growth means and for whom? Who is all this growth for, and what is it worth, if it really only benefits a tiny silver of our population. What if there was a Goldilocks version of the economy? Where it wasn’t communism, and it wasn’t winner take all capitalism, but something in between that benefits all of us and works within the limits of our planet? Maybe it’s time for a new way of doing things. This is clearly unsustainable.  As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
