If you think that income and wealth inequality in the United States are growing ever more dire, you should Google Economy for the Common Good. Instead of focusing purely on profits (which enrich the shareholders and corporate executives while ignoring any and all costs to society), it measures those things that matter to the whole of society. Things like:
Do products and services satisfy human needs?
How humane are working conditions?
How environmentally-friendly are production processes?
How ethical are sales and purchasing policies?
How are profits distributed?
Do women and minorities receive equal pay for equal work?
Are employees involved in core, strategic decision making?
These matters are being seriously considered at the highest levels in Europe. Since we have worse inequality than they, perhaps we should be considering them too. It could also provide a popular alternative to Trump’s emerging non-regulated extreme Capitalism.
