Business as it is done today is still primarily aimed at generating money, even if it is often damaging to Nature and to people.

Financial crises have not changed the mentality really and business largely continues as it was usual before. The coronavirus pandemic has made it clear that change is “acting now”.

There is a large consensus about the untenable character of present-day economics, but still too little is done about changing them drastically. The power of financial groups and mega-companies is still determining policies.

The domination of economics over politics and the die-hard belief that money can solve all problems make change difficult and slow.

Nature needs to be protected more intensively and extensively. Nature is now mostly seen as a mere commodity, while she is the essence and Life. 

Consumers need to be protected too and given the ability to live a decent life. They are now often seen as a mere piece or object in the economic treadmill.
