ABSTRACT
The overall challenge we are facing is not dicult to dene: on one hand, climate change, the destruction of wild life, overshing in the oceans, the cutting down of rainforests and so many other slow motion catastrophes demand deep-pocket investments to save the planet; on the other hand, studies on inequality and social dramas are showing with very clear gures that the economic governance is out of control. In short, we are destroying the planet for the benet of the few. This doesn’t work. And it is not getting xed: the earth does not vote, nor do the poor or the next generations that will bear the disasters we are creating. It is a lopsided democracy.
