7.3 Shared Values At the base of sustainable economy, we need simple shared values: •
The dignity of the individual is untouchable.
•
All individuals are free. The freedom of an individual (or group) ends where the freedom of others is compromised.
The economics of sustainable competitiveness is equally simple: •
Provision of equal opportunities and equal access for all.
•
Internalising all cost, tangible and intangible, in the balance sheets – of products, services, and in project and policy appraisal.
