Global economics is a total mess.
First, we need to go back to local supply. Farms shall not farm what the global market needs, and certainly they shall not prei8uce plants to make fuel of themn. They must go back to serving local demand of tghe near region: producing the kind of goods that the locals buy. Noit shuffling them around countries, nations, continents.
Industry: small is beautiful. Not selling TVs from Phillips in America, American VBs in Asia, and Asian TVs in Europe. But Asian TVs in Asia, European TVs ins Europe, and American TVs in America.
We need to cut - massively - the number of salesmen in the middle.
International trade should be limited to trading goods and resources that the other indeed does not have and cannot produce. I give you what you do not have, and you give me what I cannot produce myself.
Back to the regions. Local autarcy as far as possible.
Big business and stockmarkets certainly wants to see me dead for saying this. Probably as much as I want to see them dead.
Stockmarkets should be prohibited. Banks should be limiteds to not exceed certain sizes. They must be monitored by local communities within whose borders they should be limited to operate. Betting on food and resources should be put under draconic penalty. Trading debts and trading currencies should be prohibited.
Away from supra-national industry, back to regional production for local demand.
Saves also all energy and emissions for headlessly shuttling biblical amounts of goods around the globe.
Just for a start. For capitalist trade empires, this is a nightmare, of course, and for followers of the unlimited growth doctrine and the gospel of predatory capitalism, it is a nightmare as well. Politicians founding their careers on solving problems that without them would not even exist, it is no welcomed vision of the world as well.
