“In order to ensure our survival, we must work ourselves away from a purely capitalist system. We know pure socialism isn’t the answer either. What we need to do is take the best from each and blend them. Our emphasis needs to shift away from growth, especially unsustainable growth, and be placed on common sense methods to insert humanity back into business and policy. The winner-takes-all mentality is the most damaging way to think. What if we all could be lifted up together? What if we could lower poverty by distributing our wealth to the children? How many more ideas would be generated if we could foster the talent that lies within those that are underserved by our society? One of those kids could cure cancer. One of those kids could be the next Mozart, or Picasso, or Einstein. I am committed to helping the Creative Class lead this effort to foster the next generation and shift our thinking away from growth at all costs.”

Anything I (or MW) can do to help on your quest just ask, even if it’s just for someone to explore ideas with. The round table discussions we take part in daily always leave us inspired and we love to exchange with those we meet!
