There is a lot of flesh to be put on the bones - but there is at least an opening for a more pragmatic, less ideological debate about how to build economies that work for people, within the limits of our planet.

Fixing markets isn't enough. We have to actively shape and create them and tilt the playing field in the direction of the growth we want.

People work hard and companies make big profits, but employees don't see that they share in the wealth they help to create.

The actual division of labor must be reflected in the division of the rewards (and prices, which is the way the consumer gets rewarded).
