The populists are right in one key area: voters want jobs and equitable growth, and can hardly be faulted for that. The challenge is to find a more inclusive growth trajectory that can be sustained economically, ecologically, and politically.
Governments can't credibly claim to be concerned about stagnant growth and ageing workforces unless they are actively seeking to empower women economically. One way they can speed up progress towards gender-equal economic opportunity is to change laws that are holding women back.
Technology is making it easier for women to connect to business opportunities around the world. Legal obstacles must not be allowed to stand in their way. That's not just because it's economically smart. It's because discrimination shouldn't be the law.
The communist model does not work economically, we all realised that, but the capitalist model in the modern world also looks to be unsustainable.
It is simply economically impossible to require controls that even approach zero emissions.
Taiwan has been so well developed economically. But we are underdeveloped culturally.
The United States and Mexico are trapped - economically, culturally, politically and because of drug crime - in the same continent.
We should not be strangling ourselves economically by not utilizing the resources we have been given or by putting them off-limits.
It's morally wrong, and economically self-defeating, that so much wealth flows upwards towards the richest of Americans, while millions work full time but still can't provide for their families.
Science fiction has traditionally been economically naive, with a strong libertarian streak, which I think is like a crude Leninism. That's attractive because it could be used to explain everything, and if only we lived by its tenets, everything would be perfect.
