PEOPLE SHOULD BE AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING

IN REALITY, A FEW POWERFUL PEOPLE CONTROL MOST OF THE POWER AND MAKE CRITICAL DECISIONS

THE GOOD NEWS! There are good people everywhere in the world ... but the system leaves far too many behind
The Elders	Leaders	Nelson Mandella South Africa	Paul Polman Unilever	Carlos Slim Grupo Carso	Bill Gates Microsoft

Indian family
South Asia

Arab Women
Middle East

Arab Men

Indian family

Vietnam worker

US Worker

There are good people everywhere Some very good leaders Relatively few bad folk ... but some are very powerful as heads of countries and criminal organizations Some ultra wealthy folk ... amazing financial success but at an unknown social and environmental cost
.

ORGANIZATIONS ARE THE ECONOMY
Huge corporate organizations dominate everything. Many investors and executives believe that profit is the main and only thing. This is WRONG and very dangerous for society and the world!
Google	Apple	ExxonMobil	Rolls Royce	Maersk	HSBC

Unilever

ExxonMobil

Microsoft

IBM

Oracle

Almost the whole of global GDP flows through corporate business organizations They are responsible for the deployment of technological innovations to improve productivity They optimize their decisions to maximize profits and benefit for stockholders. To a great extent, they ignore social impact and environmental impact and push back against regulation ... even where there are critical needs Without major and massive refocus by corporate organizations the global future is very bleak!
.

GOVERNMENTS HAVE IMPORTANT ROLE
Good government is more important than big government ... many critical services should be provided by government

Executive Branch	Legislative Branch	Judicial Branch	Police	Military	Research
Government provides the enabling environment Justice for all / Rule of law Security ... both local and international Financial stability / Social safety net Research / Education
