Amsterdam Is Embracing a Radical New Economic Theory to Help Save the Environment. Could It Also Replace Capitalism? JANUARY 22, 2021

 By some accounts, that system, capitalism, has its origins just a mile

 from the grocery store. In 1602, in a house on a narrow alley, a merchant

 began selling shares in the nascent Dutch East India Company. In doing

 so, he paved the way for the creation of the first stock exchange—and the

 capitalist global economy that has transformed life on earth. “Now I think

 we’re one of the first cities in a while to start questioning this system,” 

Drouin says. “Is it actually making us healthy and happy? What do we want?

 Is it really just economic growth?”....

 

In April 2020, during the first wave of COVID-19, Amsterdam’s city government

 announced it would recover from the crisis, and avoid future ones, by embracing

 the theory of “doughnut economics.” Laid out by British economist Kate Raworth

 in a 2017 book, the theory argues that 20th century economic thinking is not 

equipped to deal with the 21st century reality of a planet teetering on the edge of

 climate breakdown. 

 

Instead of equating a growing GDP with a successful society, our goal should be 

to fit all of human life into what Raworth calls the “sweet spot” between the

 “social foundation,” where everyone has what they need to live a good life, 

and the “environmental ceiling.” By and large, people in rich countries are 

living above the environmental ceiling. Those in poorer countries often fall below

 the social foundation. The space in between: that’s the doughnut.

 

It’s the first time a major city has attempted to put doughnut theory into action

 on a local level, but Amsterdam is not alone. Raworth says DEAL has received 

an avalanche of requests from municipal leaders and others seeking to build 

more resilient societies in the aftermath of COVID-19. Copenhagen’s 

city council majority decided to follow Amsterdam’s example in June, as did

 the Brussels region and the small city of Dunedin, New Zealand, in September,

 and Nanaimo, British Columbia, in December. In the U.S., Portland, Ore., 

is preparing to roll out its own version of the doughnut, and Austin may be

close behind. The theory has won Raworth some high-profile fans; in November,

 Pope Francis endorsed her “fresh thinking,”....

 

 

 

In hometown of St. Francis of Assisi, pope

touts ‘radical criticism’ of capitalism 

September 26, 2022

The pope gathered with under-35 adults at the Economy of Francesco meeting

 to promote a new vision for the 'mainstream economy.'

 

VATICAN CITY (RNS) — Joining young people from more than 100 countries, 

Pope Francis signed a document on Saturday (Sept. 24) that lays out ideas for a 

new economy inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, the pope’s namesake known for his

 dedication to the poor, the environment and peace.....

 

The gathering was the culmination of two years of online and in-person gatherings 

and events inspired by the pope’s call to action two years ago to mitigate the 

worst effects of capitalism.

“Today, a new economy inspired by Francis of Assisi can and must become an economy 

of friendship with the earth and an economy of peace,” the pope said. “It is a question of

 transforming an economy that kills into an economy of life, in all its aspects.”

Francis then signed “The Economy of Francesco Pact,” written by the young members

 of a group of the same name, which pledges its signers to pursue peace, care for the

 environment and place the poor and most vulnerable at the center.....

“Usually, in mainstream economy, poverty is considered at the margins,” 

said Archbishop Domenico Sorrentino of Assisi, a member of the committee

 of the Economy of Francesco, in an interview with Religion News Service

. Supply side economic views, which theorize that wealth trickles down from

 the wealthiest to the poorest in society, tends to place poor people at the bottom

 of the pyramid, the archbishop said.

“Today this view is in a crisis thanks to critics of mainstream economy,”

 he added, pointing to the work of English economist

Kate Raworth, FOUNDER

a proponent of the “doughnut economy,” 

which prioritizes sustainable development.

 Raworth presented her views to Economy of Francesco advocates in a 2020 session

 the pope sketched his economic outlook

“The first market economy was born in the 

13th century in Europe through daily

 contact with Franciscan Friars, who were 

friends of the first merchants. 

That 

economy certainly created wealth but it did not despise poverty,” said Francis.

 “Our capitalism, instead, wants to help the poor but does not respect them.”

“We do not have to love poverty,” he added. “On the contrary, 

we need to combat it,

above all, by creating work, dignified work.”

Rebuilding this “spiritual patrimony” must start with focusing on the weakest in society

 “from conception in the womb to the sick person with disabilities, to the elderly person in

 difficulty,” Francis said.

“It is not enough to make cosmetic changes,” he said, adding that “we cannot just wait

 until the next international summit: The earth burns today, and today we must change, at all levels.”

The archbishop said that the Economy of Francesco has also created an “Economy of Fraternity”

 prize for projects that transform communities in the spirit of Saint Francis. This year,

 the 50,000 euro prize went to a community in Manila, Philippines, that collaborated

 with disabled people to transform lotus flowers into compostable bricks.

“Some, looking down at us, might say that this juvenile enthusiasm will eventually

 collide with the powerful structures of the world,” Sorrentino said.

 “But in history, great things started small.”
