WHY WE NEED A
NEW ECONOMICS SUMMIT
 We need a New Economics Summit that focuses on how to
create sustainable, thriving, creative people, families,
communities and nature.
 Everything that does not lead to these is JUNK. We don't need it.
 We need New Economics Summits to meet to rethink economics.
 The word “economics” is derived from a Greek word “okionomia,”
which means “household management” or “management of
house affairs.”
 The G20 Summits LOOK AT GROWTH, not at pollution.
 The G20 does not look at the dynamic of weapons sales by all the
permanent members of the UN Security Council and how it leads
to creating chaos, violence and destruction.
 They G20 does not look at how robots are making the superwealthy – who own the companies – wealthier, taking away
more jobs.
 The G20 fails to look at crumbling infrastructure.
 They ignore population and what we will do with billions more
people in the future, 9-10 billion by 2050, 15 billion by 2100.
 Current economic gain is going to the top 1% globally, who own
50% of the world’s wealth, and to the top 10% globally, who own
85% of the world’s wealth, leaving so little for the other 6.4 billion
people. The G20 Summits ignore this.

 Many people are not getting a good education, don’t have a
good job, and don’t experience a loving family and a healthy
community. People need a good education, a good job, a loving
family and a healthy, creative community.
 Companies, countries and investors make money from weapons
sales. This shows up as positive in GDP.
 Weapons salesmen are flooding the world with weapons.
 Disenfranchised men and women are creating chaos and violence
globally in sales of weapons, drugs, sex trafficking, terrorism,
piracy and kidnapping.
 There needs to be is a global systemic study of the
interrelatedness of these factors causing people to regress,
become dysfunctional, and become involved with extremist
causes and violence.
 To create a sustainable planet, wealthy people around the world
need to invest in improving education, job opportunities,
sustainable families and sustainable communities.
 We have to find a way to engage the wealthy who own 85% of the
world's wealth to help humanity build Sustainable, Creative
Communities where people are productive even though the
robots have replaced them in billions of jobs.

THE SOCIAL IMPACT
OF
ECONOMICS
Economics has an impact on the way people think, feel, behave and
relate to themselves, each other and nature. Old Economics
destroys human character because it values acquisition of money,
status, power and things. New Economics supports the continual
improvement of human character through cultivation of
consciousness, compassion and creativity in the self, family,
community and with nature.

BAD & GOOD BUSINESS MODELS
BAD BUSINESS
Excessive executive
pay, perks and bonuses
Stingy owners use Cost-cutting
Companies lay-off people
and milk profits
GOOD BUSINESS
Generous owners
and executives
Not sharing profits
Profit sharing
Owners and executives
not investing in their people
Further training to
improve customer service
No reinvesting
in the company
Re-investment in
facilities and equipment
This all breeds resentment at
the bottom and in the middle,
undermines customer service,
isolates from the community and nature
Positive employee attitudes,
great customer service, community
involvement, care for nature
Many people are not conscious,
unaware of the evolution of consciousness,
and unaware of their feelings and needs
Aware of the
evolution of consciousness,
feelings and needs
Some are not compassionate,
staying stuck in bitterness, unforgiving,
passive aggression, with some very
negative and even hostile
Compassion, forgiveness,
clarity, authenticity,
assertiveness, full-expression
in constructive ways
Some are not creative,
are staunch traditionalists,
slow to embrace new ideas,
adamant and often stubborn
Creative and open to
new ideas, growth, development
and transformation
