We need a whole new kind of capitalism as we aim for sustainability

New rules must ensure that wages in the developing world are sufficient to meet basic human needs. We must forgive the national debts of developing countries as reparation for past trade inequities and the wholesale extraction of natural resource wealth by industrialized nations. And we must replace unfair terms of trade with new rules that ensure fair prices for basic goods from developing countries, to make sure debt does not re-accumulate. By promoting equity, we can counter poverty and environmental destruction, which adds to climate change and encourages the emergence of new infectious diseases that can race around the globe.
