The foundations of world economy have been focusing on gaining profits and growth, and even more profits and growth. We still haven't experienced devastating enough economic crisis or catastrophical situations, leading the decision making organs into different thinking: there must be other commonly acceptable rules for our world economy? Any out-of-the-box ideas? The truth is that human beings were born to search, explore and innovate. That's why its only a matter of time, on which decade we'll awaken to realize the current venomous rules of the world economy, its short-sighted and meaningless efforts of evaluating companies with just a few indicators - numbers of profit and growth. This development has not only lead to couple of beautiful success stories, but to mental, social and attitude problems of the whole working population as well. Working population is not feeling so relaxed anymore. Free time has increased but at the same time job responsibilities are planned very short-sighted, roles made unclear and the motivation mechanisms set to be driven by cost savings and sales increase by double-digits.
It can take a very long time to spin the wheel towards different values in the economy, values which cherish the natural environment and people respecting each others. But we like to believe that human being is wise... and that we are able to see the benefits of large populations well being instead of benefits of short-sighted individualism and capitalism. The worst is happening when environment is destroyed with individual and short-sighted motives. Governments should guard and stress the environmental aims in the future - since global environmental stability is the most important factor for human being's survival on this planet.
When all decisions would be made by setting our childrens future, wellbeing and benefits first, it would make it easy to see the right directions and keep sustainable perspective. Nobody is going to raise a hand when we ask: who wants to leave a polluted and poor globe for the next generation. The perspective is currently just too short.
