ABSTRACT
The “good society” of the 21st century as defined in this chapter is driven by such values as inclusivity and democratic decision-making, and is both globally cosmopolitan and deeply communitarian. It is a mixed economy; the production and sale of discretionary consumer goods would happen in a profit-seeking market while such vital public goods as healthcare services would not. It would prioritize enlightened politics over economic interests, and embrace diverse ownership models, including models that better suit the production of public goods.
