Concept paper for Economic System Planning

2021

The proposal aims at installing a basic, nation-based capability to resist challenges like pandemics. This capability will preserve the essentials of economic system through the crisis, will mobilize people to work in critical functions and will directly help people and organisations in financial stress. It will also lay the foundations for the transformation of the economy post-crisis to one which works within ecological boundaries. It is not a solution that targets the whole economy. Rather it looks at maintaining a resilient core. It is neither based on any particular school of thought nor economic theory, rather it is based on looking at the present system and seeing what a few practical next steps might be.
