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.
