Vision
The global economy is currently lurching from one crisis to the next. Capitalism has failed to answer the serious problems facing society: from global warming and climate change to rising inequality and the collapse of living standards. The dogmatic pursuit of economic growth is destroying the planet and has concentrated wealth in all but a few hands. Scotianomics recognises that last centuries ideas of left and right are obsolete and must be replaced.
Scotianomics champions the Wellbeing Economic Approach. This approach to structuring the economy seeks to put all factors which enhance an individual’s wellbeing on the same footing as economic growth. These factors include but are not limited to: the quality of the living environment; human development through increased education and health outcomes; stronger community ties and reduced inequality; and investment in future generations. Scotianomics believes these factors are what contribute to greater economic and societal wellbeing.
