A nova economia "mede" o que importa. The new economy assesses the irreducible values that truly matter

A solução não é acabar com o capitalismo. É a te-orientação para medir o que importa, sabendo que o que importa é irredutível, logo será preciso avaliar vários indicadores objetivos e subjetivos. Também é essencial assegurar um processo justo de acesso à oportunidade. A falácia do reducionismo materialista está reflectido no modelo económico. Damos valor ao que tem preço. É uma vida, quanto custa? 

Prof. Varoufakis on the difficulties of measuring capital and what really matters and how that affects the economy:

Nobel Laureate prof. Stiglitz on inequality of opportunity:

Ford Foundation's Xavier de Souza Briggs on how we need to align our economy to our highest values to tackle inequality of opportunity and social injustice 

The solution is not to end capitalism, but rather to re-direct it to "measure" what matters, knowing that what truly matters is irreducible. This means we will need to assess various objective and subjective indicators. It is also critical to defend equitable assess to opportunity. The fallacy of materialistic reductionism is reflected in the prevalent economic model, for it does not value what is priceless. A cheap t-shirt can be sold, but a life lost?
