Common Welfare Economy - Christian Felber

Edda Dietrich

The "Common Welfare Economy" (http://www.gemeinwohl-oekonomie.org/en/) comprises the basic elements of an alternative economic framework. It employs three approaches:

1. Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other. The same values that contribute to fulfilling interpersonal relationships should be awarded in the economy.

2. Conformity with the constitution. The economy should function in accordance with the values and objectives established by the constitutions of western democracies, which is currently not the case.

3. Economic success should no longer be measured with monetary indicators (financial profit, GDP), but by what is really important, i.e. utility values (basic needs, quality of life, communal values)
Market values and social values should no longer oppose each other.


The first draft of this model, including the Common Welfare Balance Sheet, was developed between 2009 and 2010 by a dozen entrepreneurs from Austria.

Practical Implementation

In the fiscal year 2011, 60 companies in three countries created the Common Welfare Balance Sheet. They were supported and advised by Common Welfare Consultants; auditors reviewed the Common Welfare Balance Sheet. Towards the end of 2011, the number of pioneers has risen to 150; over 500 companies from 13 countries support the overall process of the Common Welfare Economy.

Overall Process

Increasingly, different working parties are forming around the model and the pioneer companies. Editors, scientists, speakers, ambassadors, ... numerous people offer their skills and knowledge in order to contribute to the joint development of the Common Welfare Economy.

Energy Fields and Communities

In eight countries: Austria, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Spain, Argentina and Honduras -- Energy Fields (regional support groups) have emerged. They surround supporting companies and communicate the idea in their local area. There have been the first requests by communities to become a Common Welfare Community.

Open Process

The model of the Common Welfare Economy is based on two core elements: the Common Welfare Balance Sheet and the 20 Cornerstones. By constantly integrating feedback, we have continually readjusted the model and will do so in the years to come. At the end of this process, economic conventions need to take place, first on a communal level, then on a nationwide level. By popular vote, parts of the model shall be anchored in the constitution.

Participate

Everyone can contribute to the Common Welfare Economy with their specific skills or interests -- be it as a company, as a consumer, as a working party or as an Energy Field, in schools and universities or in residential communities. Every day their number grows. Join the process!

Time for Change (Bregtje van der Haak, VPRO Backlight 2010)

VPROinternational

Meet the new revolutionaries of the Do-It-Yourself cultures in Barcelona, Tallin and Jakarta. They are modern day heroes. They do not wait for political parties or institutions to change their world; they simply do it themselves, by creating new local currencies, by working in social networks or by simply robbing the banks and redistributing their money.

The world economy is in crisis and public trust in financial institutions has hit rock bottom. As commercial banks were bailed out with billions of taxpayers money and continued to practice their old vices, many people lost faith in bank managers and politicians. They got angry at the speculative financial system that brings extreme wealth to a few and instability and unemployment to many.

Could this dissatisfaction lead to social change? Can we imagine viable alternatives? Backlight goes on a worldwide search, with sociologist Manuel Castells and philosopher Peter Sloterdijk.

Introducing 'The Doughnut' of social and planetary boundaries for development

oxfaminternational

Kate Raworth, Senior Researcher at Oxfam Great Britain introduces her discussion paper "A Safe and Just Space for Humanity: can we live within the doughnut?" Join the debate at www.oxfamblogs.org/doughnut

This discussion paper is an exploration of what such a model of prosperity might look like.

It presents a visual framework -- shaped like a doughnut -- which brings the concept of planetary boundaries together with the complementary concept of social boundaries, creating a safe and just space between the two, in which humanity can thrive.

Who's Counting? Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies and Global Economics

http://www.nfb.ca/film/whos_counting

In this feature-length documentary, Marilyn Waring demystifies the language of economics by defining it as a value system in which all goods and activities are related only to their monetary value. As a result, unpaid work (usually performed by women) is unrecognized while activities that may be environmentally and socially detrimental are deemed productive. Waring maps out an alternative vision based on the idea of time as the new currency.

Le bien commun - l'assaut final

antisaoud001

L’eau, la santé, les gènes humains et végétaux, les connaissances anciennes et nouvelles, plus rien aujourd’hui ne semble pouvoir échapper au destin de marchandise. Face à la voracité des marchands, qu’adviendra-t-il de la notion de bien commun qui est à la base de toute vie en société ? Le marché peut-il être le garant du bien commun ?
Différentes histoires, tournées au Canada, aux États-Unis, au Mexique, en France, au Brésil, en Inde, et racontées à la manière de la Genèse, témoignent des conséquences de la soumission du monde aux intérêts privés.

Le Plan ESSE pour l’économie sociale et solidaire

Alain Duez, fondateur du mensuel l’âge de faire nous présente le Plan ESSE, un projet ambitieux et assez facile pour développer ensemble fortement l’économie sociale, solidaire et écologique en tant qu’alternative crédible à un système économique devenu fou et dangereux pour la démocratie. Parce qu'on ne peut pas attendre que ce soient les puissants qui changent un système dont ils bénéficient, c'est notre responsabilité de nous organiser pour créer un système plus juste, plus responsable et plus respectueux.

About time - Examining the case for a shorter working week

lsewebsite

Speaker(s): Professor Juliet Schor, Professor Lord Skidelsky, Professor Tim Jackson
Chair: Anna Coote
Recorded on 11 January 2012 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building.

As the economic crisis deepens, this is the moment to consider moving towards much shorter, more flexible paid working hours -- sharing out jobs and unpaid time more fairly across the population. The new economics foundation (nef) set out the case in its report 21 Hours: Why a shorter working week can help us all to flourish in the 21st century.

Now, in partnership with CASE (Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion) at the London School of Economics, this event brings together a panel of experts to examine the social, environmental and economic implications. They will consider how far a shorter working week can help to address a range of urgent social, economic and environmental problems: unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being and entrenched inequalities.

Juliet Schor is Professor of Sociology at Boston College, and author of Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth, and The Overworked American.

Professor Lord Skidelsky is Emeritus Professor of Political Economy at the University of Warwick and biographer of J. M. Keynes. He is the co-author, with Dr Edward Skidelsky, of the forthcoming book, How Much is Enough? Economics and the Good Life.

Tim Jackson is Professor of Sustainable Development at Surrey University, and author of Prosperity without Growth.

Helena Norberg-Hodge : The Economics of Happiness

More GRITtv

"Economics has  a lot to do with unhappiness," says Helena Norberg-Hodge, co-director of The Economics of Happiness. "We have an economic system that is systematically creating job scarcity worldwide," she notes, and it's time that we stopped obsessing about bottom lines, corporate growth, and income at the top and started to think about other ways of measuring positive effects in global society.

Helena is also the author of Ancient Futures, and she joins us in studio to talk about the need for economic literacy, new models of measuring happiness, and finding a balance between rural and urban life.
