The Economics of Kindness: The Birth of a New Cooperative Economy.
Here is the link for Part 2: https://www.slideshare.net/GuyDauncey/the-economics-of-kindness-part-2
Today’s economy has become for many a kindness-free zone, in which most of the benefits go to the rich, while others suffer, and nature is assaulted.
Capitalism is based on the competitive pursuit of self- interest, but a new economy is emerging to replace it, based on cooperation and kindness. It is being built in cities and on farms, in new kinds of business and banking, and in new approaches to work.
Guy Dauncey is a futurist who works to develop a positive vision of a sustainable future, and to translate that vision into action. His work has been enthusiastically received by environmental activists, politicians, scientists and community planners, including prominent Canadians such as David Suzuki and Elizabeth May. He is the author of Journey to the Future and The Climate Challenge: 101 Solutions to Global Warming.

to vast sections of disadvantaged and low income

policy.
