declamation on pandemic crisis: lessons for future
Answers
Explanation:
The pandemic has already taught us that for a better world we cannot have the market as the backbone of the economy; we need a more inclusive politics; decentralised governance is essential; and we obviously need a more harmonious relationship with nature.
- Markets Cannot Be the Primary Backbone
Ever since the late 20th century, the democratic world has largely been reorganised around a set of neoliberal beliefs that posit: (i) the self-organising capability of markets is more efficient than any form of centralised control; (ii) government embodies centralised control, making it inherently inefficient, and, therefore; (iii) the state must retreat into a minimal role that leaves as much as possible to markets. This logic is even extended to social goods such as health and education.
- We Need an Inclusive Politics of Recognition
- The pandemic has exposed another fault line in the failure by society to adequately recognise large sections of the population.
- Local Government Is the Core
- Our Relationship with Nature Must Be Harmonious
- The Priorities in Our Lives Must Begin Within Us
Thus,If we wish to form a society that is resilient, just, and fulfilling, the search must begin within.
