“Toward a generative economy.” Marjorie Kelly on Open Democracy (my high-lights)

Here is my ELF Policy Paper on the Future of Europe: Capitalism, Technology and Sustainability
In this talk, I comment on the Covid-19 "Infodemic" and what it means for the future of (social) media and technology regulation, and describe what challenges to our economic and social models may emerge. I outline my key ‘definitive future’ foresights such as the End of Oil and Global Decarbonization, the dawning 'human renaissance' and the imminent action on global warming. I also present my ‘preferred futures’ such as a sustainable capitalism (people planet purpose and prosperity), the rise of digital ethics and a new multilateralism.

But then, Covid-19 struck and changed everything as half the world went into lock-down, economies and supply chains ground to a halt, unemployment skyrocketed, and the world suffered its greatest health/humanitarian crisis since World War II.
