4.3.5 Una economia del desenvolupament

A developing economy is one that regenerates itself. It expands, thrives, and changes to the point where each of its members gains more knowledge about how to function within and contribute to the health of living systems. It might be quite difficult to maintain self-determined accountability in this situation. Saying that one should put aside ego and learn to promote self-determination in every individual and system one encounters is one thing. To actually do it is quite another. After all, this manner of conceiving social interactions is completely at odds with everything in the current structures of education, engineering and design, legislation, employment, and economic valuation.

Because of this, those who want to alter current economic practices must understand that doing so is, in the truest sense imaginable, a systemic endeavor. Without changing these social institutions, transforming economies is impossible. Social institutions both create and support the existing economies. Without developing cultures and behaviors, developmental economies are not conceivable. A variety of political, educational, reformation, and financial institutions were used to impose and support the top-down effort that it took generations to first compel and then teach populations to fit into industrial economies. To assist people gain the knowledge to take charge of and co-found their own regenerative economies, which will operate from quite different premises and abilities than the economies that have gone before, it will demand a better and equally enormous educational effort.

The four skills listed above should be developed in those who have a significant interest in and want to create the next economy, in our opinion, as a good place to start. Their reflective approach experiences of a developmental method should inform each of their efforts, ambitions, and communications. They will have a better awareness of the fact that any endeavor to revive an economy should be supported by an equal effort to support each participant’s personal growth. This larger educational project will make sure that the foundation for effective economic change is included in all projects and activities created to create the new economy.
