  3. Institution create the behaviour they claim merely to measure – Economics → institutions → behaviour → the #deathcult

    One of the meany problems with modern capitalism is not simply that some corporations are greedy. It is that we have built institutions around the assumption that people are greedy, and then wondered why they behave that way. Since the 1970s, #neoclassical economics became dominant in business schools and corporate thinking. An older social democratic idea of the manager as a professional with responsibilities to workers, customers, communities and society was displaced by a #geekproblem […]

  6. Inequality is undermining the wellbeing of the whole community

    " In fact, the real gap in the US over the past decade has been estimated to mean CEOs earn a staggering 265 to 300 times more than average US workers.

    A long-running study found CEOs of the top 100 Australian companies earned 55 times more last financial year than average workers.

    At a broader social level, research from the UK indicates that as inequality increases, social outcomes get worse. These include increased crime, drug and alcohol abuse, obesity as people struggle to afford nutritious food, and reductions in social trust.

    The most recent Bureau of Statistics data we have, from 2019-20, showed the richest 20% of Australians owned around 62% of our wealth.

    As inequality gets worse, evidence suggests it will lead to social problems that threaten to undermine the wellbeing of the whole community. "

    The English-only NT parliament is undermining healthy democracy by excluding Aboriginal languages

    "42% of NT residents speak a non-English language at home. Only half of eligible Aboriginal residents in the NT are enrolled to vote, and voter participation is even lower. Recognition – Rejecting someone’s language means rejecting their identity. Reconciliation is not just something parliamentarians should direct others to do, it’s something that needs to happen within parliament itself."

    "The NT is a rich, multilingual society. How can the Legislative Assembly claim to fully represent the breadth of NT society when it chooses to be monolingual?"

  10. Highly recommend this recording of today’s #NatCen & #KingsCollegeLondon seminar on making #deliberative #democracy part of everyone’s lives. To paraphrase @OliverEscobar

    #Deliberation is a way of communicating as old as humanity, it’s not a #Eurocentric story

    And Claudia Chwalisz from #DemocracyNext

    Taking part in deliberative processes can have a transformative effect on people, it can ignite their sense of #agency
