“Armut wird im Grunde durch einen Mangel and Geld verursacht", erklärt der Ökonom Joseph Hanlon. "Sie hat nichts mit Dummheit zu tun. Ein Mensch, der keine Haare auf dem Kopf hat, kann sich nicht am eigenen Schopf aus dem Sumpf ziehen.” PoorMoneyPovertyEconomyStupidHairStupidityHeadLackLack Of Money Book:Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World Source: Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World
“Our standard of progress was conceived for a different era with different problems. Our statistics no longer capture the shape of our economy. And this has consequences. Every era needs its own figures. In the eighteenth century, they concerned the size of the harvest. In the nineteenth century, the radius of the rail network, the number of factories, and the volume of coal mining. And in the twentieth century, industrial mass production within the boundaries of the nation-state. But today it's no longer possible to express our prosperity in simple dollars, pounds, or euros. From healthcare to education, from journalism to finance, we're all still fixated on 'efficiency' and 'gains,' as though society were nothing but one big production line. But it's precisely in a service-based economy that simple quantitative targets fail... It's time for a new set of figures.” EconomySocietyGdpGross Domestic ProductSocial Theory Book:Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World Source: Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World
