The economy is not a self-regulating system. It is made-up of human decisions. If powerful people want it to be exploitative and unsustainable; that is what it will be. If people want it to be just and regenerative; they need to put up a fight.

US’s problem is capitalism (inequality, instability, injustices). Yet big parties focus on immigrants, walls, investigations, etc.
Likewise for UK whose major parties focus on being in/out of Europe.

Problems big parties distract from are more important than those they engage.

The system is the problem.

[Andrew Maredza @AndrewMaredza]

@JaminSpeer Scarcity: hence the need to optimize in the face of scarcity (constrained constrained) to maximize human welfare (but not dominance by one group as in capitalism...) sustainably (in a manner that allows the earth to replenish itself).

Max Koch puts forward some of the challenges to degrowth, which he argues is a hard but necessary step. Do you agree? #RethinkingSustainability

We need a carriculum that acknowledges our IKS and consistent with our African realities. Many times we regurgitate theories, methodologies and solutions that are not calibrated to our African contexts.

@AfDB_Group Africa needs to trade more with itself. In 2018 intra-Africa trade accounted for only 17% compared to infra-Asian and intra-Europe with 59% and 79% respectively. Yet almost everything the world needs today originate in Africa. The only hurdle is technology and infrastructure.
