"💰Modernity made us rich. We can think of capitalism as a project to serve our material needs. It succeeded. Today, we’re rich beyond the wildest dreams of our great-grandparents. Our prosperity fuels the idea that we live in late-stage capitalism"
"We" as in The West?
I.e. not much in the context of the Global Goals; even Paul Polman, former Unilever CEO, made the point during preparations for COP21 in Paris; it's more or less irrelevant, what the West undertakes to achieve Global Goals; "We" are irrelevant for the Whole.
Reminds me; Tomas Björkman and his book "The World we Create"; i.e. even the market today is not free; it's very much designed indeed and we need to redesign. I.e. not black / white capitalism/anti-capitalism (WHICH IS SO BORING); rather a metamodernistic approach; i.e. what works? What does it mean to be human? Let's do it!
