Reclaiming Capital: The Shift from Casino Economy to Local Enterprises

The global financial landscape has shifted dramatically, with corporate profits soaring from 14% in the 1960s to 40% in 2008, leading to a "Casino Economy" valued at $700 trillion, overshadowing the real economy worth $60 trillion. This disparity highlights the urgent challenge of reclaiming our capital through ethics and sustainability. Alternatives like homeopathic financing and local enterprise banks advocate for fair treatment of farmers, food quality, and ecological integrity, ensuring a just economy that supports rather than burdens the majority.
