Better Workforce
It's absurd. We're bailing out every major bank to get financial capital flowing again. But we're squeezing [education systems,] the main sources of our human capital.
Yet, the future competitiveness and standard of living of America depend on our peoples' skills, their capacities to communicate and solve problems, and innovate -- not their ability to borrow money.
Robert Reich, former Secretary of LaborDecember 3, 2008
Better Economies
The Shadow Superpower (Foreign Policy, 10-28-11)
Forget China: the $10 trillion global black market is the world's fastest growing economy -- and its future.
Shadow or System D workers are described as…
inventive, self-starting, entrepreneurial merchants who are doing business on their own, without registering or being regulated by the bureaucracy and, for the most part, without paying taxes. …. This essentially translates as the ingenuity economy, the economy of improvisation and self-reliance, the do-it-yourself, or DIY, economy.
Better Environment for Living
Human Development Index (HDI) vs. GDP as a measure of nations.

an environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead productive, creative lives in accord with their needs and interests.
