The Goldilocks Economy: A Conversation with economist Michael Mezzatesta

Published: April 23, 2024, 7 a.m.

b'It\\u2019s not that everything that\\u2019s happened in capitalism is bad, but when it comes to economics, perhaps we should be asking what this endless growth means and for whom? Who is all this growth for, and what is it worth, if it really only benefits a tiny silver of our population. What if there was a Goldilocks version of the economy? Where it wasn\\u2019t communism, and it wasn\\u2019t winner take all capitalism, but something in between that benefits all of us and works within the limits of our planet? Maybe it\\u2019s time for a new way of doing things. This is clearly unsustainable.\\xa0\\n\\nAs always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
