18 | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | It isn't the responsibility of the economy to meet "all" needs.

19 | No, I do not want to change this imperative. | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | Opportunity needs to fairly distributed, but equity as a goal may not (and likely does not) reflect reality or society. The only way to get people across all aisles, nations, and schools of thought is to design for the problem (access to opportunity) and remain neutral on the outcome (where in many real cases, equity will neither be the goal nor outcome.) Would recommend scratching the third fragment, to read: "To achieve shared prosperity, we choose an economy where opportunity is fairly distributed, and the tools and resources to participate are accessible for all people, regardless of race, class, gender or ethnicity." | No, I do not want to change this imperative. | No, I do not want to change this imperative. | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | This feels like a slippery slope. In North America, women make up ~15-20% of the labor force of the largest oil and gas companies. Taking away oil is taking away their jobs. The idea of "rewarding" companies suggest preference/values that cannot be objective. Instead you might all celebrate/highlight the move to stakeholder impacts and not shareholder supremacy. Perhaps something like: "Business is more than just its shareholders - all stakeholders matter. We shape our fiscal and regulatory system to reward the businesses that promote positive stakeholder impact." | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | The average individual - thought a decision maker in a way - is a relatively powerless one. How can individuals exact/enact their fiduciary duty? Perhaps you all might make this more clearly directed at asset owners, and not mass retail/mass affluent investors. | Consultancy/Advisory firm | Globally,North America | Access to opportunity is about more than just resources. It includes the opportunity to access new thinking, forums to trade those ideas, equal chances to debate them, all the while preserving the uniquely human experience of exacting effort and being rewarded for it. Merit should finally be the currency of this new system - a system where what you give/do is ultimately what you should get. The same is true of the broader capitalist system. Perverse incentives, structural exclusion, and siloed access to resources and information will chronically set us apart and away from each other - whether that's on the organization or individual level.

29 | No, I do not want to change this imperative. | 1 | All people who work should receive at least a full, fair minimum wage from their employer. There should be no subminimum wages for any workers - whether tipped, incarcerated, disabled, youth, or otherwise. Tipping is an inequitable untenable system and should not form the basis of a person's base income. | Civil society/NGO | North America | We are a coalition of unlikely allies who’ve come together in this extraordinary moment out of the recognition of how every moment going forward will and must now change. Yes, we want to re-open our nation — but we don’t want doing so to mean we automatically return to the injustices and inequalities that this virus has preyed upon and exacerbated, broken systems and broken people that only mean our society is likely to breakdown again. To re-open the United States in a way that is safe now and secure for our future — for everyone’s future — yes, we need to heal from coronavirus. But we also need to heal the inequalities and injustices that the virus has exploited. Because the fact is that while we’re all now on lockdown, millions of Americans have been locked down and locked up for decades. While we’re all now socially distancing, Black and Latinx and American Indian communities have been forced into the margins socially, politically and economically for centuries. While we’re all now under stay-at-home orders, too many Americans don’t have homes or could barely afford what housing they have even before this crisis. Even now, the virus is disproportionately ravaging black people in our nation. As Brittney Packnett writes, “We are all weathering the same storm, but we are not in the same boat.” Re-opening American means re-imagining the foundations of justice, inclusion and opportunity on which we all rely — and just as people need to be tested for the virus, society’s structures need to be tested to ensure they will adequately and equitably meet all of our needs. The first victim of coronavirus was the stale every person for themselves, anti-government, anti-science extremism. We know we all do better when we all do better, and we need each other to thrive. Each of us — and our society — must commit to do better going forward, or we’re doomed to keep repeating this crisis and many more to come. “We will not go back to normal,” writes Sonya Renee Taylor. “Normal never was. Our pre-corona existence was not normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate and lack.” Returning to what was would merely doom us to end right back where we are. We are not going back. We must go forward, together. Small businesses that once paid the workers sub-minimum wages are committing that, when they re-open, they will re-imagine their business models and pay livable wages to all their workers. Wardens and district attorneys now know in practice what the rest of us knew in theory, that summarily locking up scores of our fellow human beings is dangerous as well as unjust, and are re-imagining public safety alongside decarceration. Leaders who once spent their lives on airplanes are envisioning that, when we re-open, they will re-imagine more time spent on videoconference, with more time left over for their families. Elected officials who were once vehemently against government assistance now understand that, when society re-opens, not only do we need a safety net but we need robust government to prevent needing such safety nets in the first place. Each of us commits that we cannot re-open our society until we re-imagine and heal once and for all the fundamental fissures in our society that this virus has exploited and exposed. We decide the future together. A better tomorrow can be ours — if we build it today. A more just and beautiful future for all is possible — if we fight for it now. There is no alternative. There is no going back. The time to re-imagine is now. | Network / Convene Leaders,Research / Thought leadership,Movement Building / Community Organizing,Policy / Advocacy,Business Education ,Public Engagement | Academia,Business,CEOs,Investors,Government,Civil Society,Academia,Journalists / News Media,General Public | 6 | 3 | 5 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Labor / Workers / Human rights | Founder | 45 - 54 | Female | United States of America | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The first sentence is problematic. we are not all universal owners because we (all people) do not all have investments, pensions or insurance parties. One of the critiques of financial accounting is that in its nascency, standard setting bodies were able to dismiss the unique needs of employees and unions as financial statement users by arguing that in the end their were basically like shareholders; their financial statement needs were just like that of owners and therefore by meeting the information needs of shareholders, financial accounting would pretty much also meeeting the needs of employees and unions. This has been called "effacing difference". The statements here "efface difference". It reinforces the power structures that this alliance seems to want to be challenging. "We win, or lose, together" is patently wrong. Stock market is climbing. Unemployment is at an all time high. The difference is ASSETS vs INCOME. We don't all have ASSETS. Those with assets win. Those without do not. I would frame this around moral justice. I would highlight that most investors don't want to discover that they have made returns on the backs of human suffering. The Reasonable Investor is a Moral investor. Change laws and conventions to reflect that. (Currently the reasonable investor is assumed to have no moral preferences). Apologies for the essay. Thanks for asking. | Regulation recognizes the hybrid nature of our economy. Tax structures and rules that restrict enterprises to pure charity or pure profit limit the range of solutions.

53 | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | I don't think "designing" is the right verb for several reasons. Its not the sort of thing anyone "designs". Not sure we can "design it". Also its not the right word to appeal to people. We need to try it and make it. | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | Can we "choose" an economy? Its not about voting is it? We need to make it through various different sort of actions. Not sure opportunity will ever be fairly distributed. But much more fairly is perhaps realistic and credible. Equity isn't always understood by everyone. What is meant by tools and resources? Not sure that's easy to understand without example. is it property and money and education and so on? Maybe say so? Accessible? Maybe more than that? Owned? Or at least controlled by?! Not sure about "race" or at least why race AND ethnicity. Just ethnicity covers it? What about other characteristics? | 3 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | Not sure I understand "fair and free markets are mixed markets". What is meant by "mixed markets"? Mixed markets could also be unfair and not free? While some fair and free markets might also be not that mixed?! What are the levers referred to? Mixed markets? Are they levers? Again, not sure about "designed". I assume this is partly all code for a mix of state and market, private and public, enterprise and government? But a bot too coded - so it sounds like its a sort of centrist agenda? Which could put off some people. Not sure if that was the intent. Also if you amend it to spell out what is meant by mixed markets I would argue not just use the usual private vs public dichotomy but also social. Charities, co-operatives, social enterprises, informal economy, hidden economy and so on should get a mention. Also some of what can create value for all of us can be done outside the market - sharing, volunteering, giving, lending, etc. This focus on the market again slightly hints at a coded hidden agenda which may throw some people off. | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | This is great and delighted to see it. Again, don't like design. It must be local and national and regional AND global. Account is a bit too specific and suggests accounting. Perhaps "takes into account"? Externalities is exactly right but too economics-y. Side effects? Not just responsible tax practices but responsible (business) behaviour across the board from wages, to supply chains to paying tax to governance to ownership and profit distribution etc etc. | 1 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | Not sure desirable is quite right. Maybe appropriate? Or beneficial? Not quite right either but something that is closer to those terms. We "shape" is a departure from "design" - ha! But still think it should be more like "try" or "make" or "build". "We" goes back to the point about voting. "We" only do this through who we put in power. Its governments that actually do it. But if, in reality, we keep voting for governments who don't do this then this sentence isn't really true is it!? The word "impact" is a bit macho and aggressive. Value? Benefit? | 4 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | We are all absolutely NOT owners in the financial markets.

Besides, changing financial markets is not only done by amending fiduciary duties. What does aligning incentives refer to? | Protecting and empowering the social sector: social enterprises and other purpose-driven organizations are largely absent as a distinct sector from initial recovery measures taken by governments worldwide. In our view this signals a short-sighted appreciation of the critical role such organizations play and can continue to play during both the “survival” and “recovery” phases of the crisis. The capillarity, territorial depth and knowledge of the population and issues areas coming from purpose-driven organizations is absolute critical to ensure help and aid packages reach the most vulnerable. Therefore, government grants, loans, guarantees and other forms of assistance to the sector (which will be likely affected by a vast shortage of philanthropic support relative to the demand) will be critical to ensure the much-needed maintenance of the social fabric in many countries. Interestingly, we are starting to see some governments like France packaging support for the impact entrepreneurship community, including mitigation measures available for the sector. | Promote the adoption of pay for outcomes mechanisms where appropriate: outcomes-based commissioning has the potential to deliver more and better results, fostering innovation when it is most needed. In particular we see immediate potential for such vehicles in the health area, including for the testing, treatment and vaccination against coronavirus. For example, a multi-million commitment from government(s) to purchase effective tests could unlock investment in smaller but highly innovative companies working to make tests that give faster and reliable results and are affordable. Under such arrangements governments would be strictly agreeing to commissioning an output (i.e. a test performed) that would however lead to very tangible outcomes. There is growing scientific consensus and empirical evidence in support of massive testing as a critical way to control the pandemic with lower impact to economic activity – see the case of the town of Vo in Northern Italy, or policies followed by the government of South Korea. Amongst others, GSG Global Ambassador and Nobel laureate Paul Romer argues that massive testing can yield the same epidemiological results than general isolation measures with much less economic disruption. Mr Romer claims that the cost of (impact) investment in testing would be far cheaper than just “standing by” as the world economy foregoes trillions in economic output for each month that we delay in finding a solution to the pandemic. In this sense, we see the choice between public health and saving the economy as a “false dichotomy”: if we do not invest heavily now in testing and other critical health interventions we will likely remain trapped in the same “choice” for the foreseeable future. | Other.

I also don't believe wholly in the statement, markets are created by opportunity and a matching of demand and supply with motivation and behaviour. rules, regulations, taxes and tariffs frame the rules of the market so that it is as fair and inclusive as society (or rather the establishment) has decided/agreed it wants it to be fair and open | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | I would consider framing the second half of this imperative around the social contract deal for the benefit of limited liability. | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | 'Desirable' for whom ought to be clarified. | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | to be impactful I believe the imperative ought to be shorter and tighter. I don't know what creating guardrails means. the imperative really speaks to everyone having a vested interest in the financial markets AND the power to affect them through individual and collective choices and actions. | The metrics of business success must be centred on long term value creation as well as short term profitability, for without this the goals of the economy and society are misaligned. As humans, we fundamentally care about the long term and so it's imperative to encourage long term, sustained business strategies and rewards for wealth creation. | The way capital is owned must better encompass all those that create business success, especially the wider team that delivers results and risk assets beyond financial investment. New models of share ownership are imperative to build a society with less inequality and more collective, aligned interests and rewards, delivering both greater and more sustained profits. | Imperative Idea 3 The way prosperity is measured must include wider metrics than simply short term economic output. Metrics should include notions of quality as well as/instead of quantity. It is imperative to align behind a new measure to calculate value, which captures not just profit, but the way profit is shared, the good created in communities, and the wellbeing of the people who make up the economy. (* this was the measure of success before 1850 when 'Moral Statistics' were common.) I advocate to change the imperatives of business and the purpose of the economy to bring more humanity into decision making and long term goals, and measures of (and rewards for) success. Such imperatives and framework would give clarity to the point of a strong economy and thriving business community, is to serve society and sustainably improve people's lives. This time is now to fundamentally reform capitalism, rather than tinker and refine the existing version and the whole system it has created. | Other.

The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. ‘A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts,’ Mead said. We are at our best when we serve others.

68 | 1 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | "ecological boundaries" is too vague and sounds technocratic and violable. It's gotta be clearer that the economy on an ongoing basis has to be structured in a way that does not destroy, damage, or otherwise throw out of balance our delicate ecosystem - that it has the be sustainable and enable the perpetual renewal and self-healing innate in a healthy biosphere. How to get that all into a few words - no easy feat! | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | We "choose" or we are building or we are committed to or we insist upon...? And is "equity" the goal? Or is really justice, equity, and inclusion? And is that a complete list of identifiers for true inclusion? | 3 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | No offense, but I don't think I even understand this. Markets are created by all kinds of things - not least of which are buyers and sellers. Are you saying here that the only solution to create an equitable economy are rules, regs, taxes and tariffs? Essentially that to create the new economy we have to have a very activist approach from a regulation standpoint - high government intervention into the markets? What about an educated and aware consumer base? Anyway...I'm just not sure what's being conveyed here. | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | I think this should a lot simpler and straightforward. Effectively polluters pay. Clean up your mess. Full cost accounting. You create damage, you pay for damage. Even using a word like "externalities" - that you are externalizing costs to people and planet - is wrong-headed old-school market thinking. | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | Again, this needs to be a lot more aggressive and straightforward. In an ideal market structure, businesses and sectors that cause social and environmental damage will be penalized. Businesses and sectors that create demonstrable positive social and environment impact will be rewarded. | 3 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | Again, hard to figure out what this is saying. And who is "we" --- other imperatives speak as if the person saying the thing is a market structure creator. Now the "we" is the everyday person (who has investments, insurance policies, etc) -- but how can that everyday person "change fiduciary duty"? Who is the doer here and what are you asking them to do? | Far smarter people than me have developed new economy recommendations and principles.

What do we mean by a market that creates value for all of us? Can we be more explicit about what's behind this point (regulating monopolies, pricing externalities etc)? | 2 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | Why only account for? How about put a meaningful price on? Ideally positive externalities (eg CO2 soil sequestration in regenerative agriculture) should be rewarded, as well as polluters forced to pay for negative externalities. | 4 | Yes, I would like to change this imperative. | This one feels too nebulous to me. I agree with the first sentence, but are we seriously suggesting governments should become the arbiter of what constitutes positive stakeholder impact for every business? I would argue the priorities from a fiscal and regulatory system perspective are pricing those externalities that are relatively straightforward to price (eg CO2) and enforcing much more stringent antitrust and anti tax avoidance rules. Much beyond that feels like overreaching. | No, I do not want to change this imperative. | Encourage corporate governance and ownership models that favour long-termism and a balancing of different stakeholders' interests. (and ideally phase out those that don't, including the straight PLC model). Background note: This shouldn't be a case of promoting one specific form of ownership/governance, but recognising there are lots of good models out there - benefit corps; greater voting rights for longer-term shareholders (eg in France); employee ownership or workers on supervisory boards (as in Germany); industrial foundations (eg. IKEA, Novo Nordisk) - all of which shift the power dynamic within corporate governance. Marjorie Kelly, Denise Hearn and Colin Mayer have all written useful stuff on this. The rationale is that shareholder capitalism is about power and influence over corporate decision-making. New metrics etc will be meaningless unless ownership and governance is structured in a way that gives real influence to different stakeholders. | I'd love to see something in the imperatives about expectations of business with regard to ethics. Paul Collier has written well about the need to reconnect capitalism to ethics/morality. Corporate tax avoidance is an example of something unethical becoming completely normalised. Also something about promoting/incentivising regeneration (drawing on John Fullerton's work). And something about business's responsibility for helping to manage and mitigate systemic risk. COVID-19 has exposed lack of resilience in many businesses, value chains etc. Governments are stepping in to support those in distress, which is for the most part the right thing to do, but there's a real danger that COVID-19 reinforces a lesson from the last crisis: when the system explodes, governments will always step in to rescue the private sector. We have to find a fairer, more equitable way of managing systemic risks between public and private sectors, otherwise it remains too easy for businesses to contribute to making those risks (eg climate change) worse, knowing that governments will ultimately pick up the tab. | Think tank | Globally,European Union,United Kingdom | An economic system that rewards environmental, social and economic responsibility, resilience and regeneration. | Network / Convene Leaders,Research / Thought leadership,Advisory Services | Business,CEOs,Senior business managers,Investors,Government,Journalists / News Media | Climate change,Environmental degradation,Equity / Inclusion | Other.

At the same time, some cultural norms may require adjustment to ensure the broader system works E.g. The COVID-19 consequences 2) Long Term Perspectives to protect future generations. From quarterly profits to 7 generations is a large divide. Some mechanism needs to be in place for how to determine the adequate time frame by which decisions should be made or no-one will agree on how to achieve the imperatives 3) Happiness - We need an agreed measurement system to replace GDP. Input from Bhutan, New Zealand and others on Gross National Happiness and the Happiness Index should be considered in a new Measurement scheme. Using the same concept as moving from "reducing harm to becoming regenerative", we need "reducing suffering to achieving happiness". 4) The role of technology (AI & otherwise) in the economy - Someone with broad knowledge of technology's increasing dominance and ability to manipulate what we think and feel needs to draft an imperative on how we ensure that it does not invalidate or render useless all other principles and efforts. Thinking that we have achieved equity and actually doing so aren't the same. Yuval Noah Harari would be the ideal person to write this imperative and he would be very insightful on the other ones. 5) Creation of new value that betters the world- Business has no purpose if it is not creating real value and solving real problems.

I'd put "guardrails" into that category. Through our investments, pensions, and insurance policies, we are all owners in the financial markets. We align incentives, create standards of corporate conduct, and define fiduciary duty to ensure that these investments respect human rights. | Human rights will be the guiding princple in the development of a blueprint for a new economy. | Rights CoLab believes it is critical that any blueprint for a new economy be centered on human rights. There are several reasons why. First, there exists an established and widely accepted framework on business and human rights - the UN Guiding Principles on business and human rights - that has been widely adopted by major intergovernmental and business/financial institutions, including the OECD, the World Bank, the International Standards Organization, and the 80 plus Equator Principles banks. Moreover, Global South and Global North countries have adopted National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights that are being integrated into their commercial, trade, and economic policy plans, and an increasing number of states have passed mandatory due diligence laws predicated on the UNGPs, creating new legal risks for companies that do not pay adequate attention to human rights risks. Second, and most importantly, a human rights perspective ensures that rights are respected in both processes for developing a new economy and the outcomes we wish to see. Because the International Bill of Human Rights is broad scoped, relying on an international framework for human rights steadily developed over the course of the 70 year history of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a human rights perspective ensures that there is a full scoping of impacts and therefore avoids unintended harms to those most vulnerable and invisible. There's another important reason to center this project on human rights. To the extent that the Imperative 21 initiative is principally focused on the U.S., it is essential that we draw from the best of our country's political philosophies and intellectual resources to build a just-based economy. The UDHR represents a key strand of that tradition, having been spearheaded within the newly created UN by Eleanor Roosevelt and drawn from FDR's Four Freedoms. Although human rights discourse in the U.S. has long been hampered by American exceptionalism, there are many groups in the US who are dedicated to better rooting a human rights approach in the American context so that Americans are able to see the consequences of not making human rights an explicit part of the conversation around social justice and equity. This is not to deny that human rights has been politicized in the international arena - by the US as well as other governments and even NGOs. But the concept and approach itself is essential and after several decades of work by NGOs to address American exceptionalism, the idea that human rights applies in the US is taking root. | Civil society/NGO | Globally | Rights CoLab's work is defined by four pillars: civil society, business, finance, and technology.

Presumably "fairly distributed" implies that the current distribution is unfair. How? Participation is not enough when the initial endowments are so unequal.

The exercise of power can hinder the achievement of any other goal. The redistribution of power must be a central tenet of any reform effort. | The process matters. Without involvement from the very beginning of stakeholders whose lives these principles are aimed towards improving it does not matter what the principles say. However well-meaning, capital and business cannot tell the marginalised how it will strive to make their lives better. It is illegitimate, there will be unintended consequences and it will be rejected. Articulation of imperatives may be needed as between businesses so solve the collective action problem that prevents any one business from taking bold action. Imperatives will not convince stakeholders outside that group. Show, don't tell. Do not be surprised if people want things that, as an observer, seem not to be in their own interests. We cannot know another's interests, we have not lived their life. They must tell us. None of this is possible if it must proceed within an ecosystem of destructive competition or of monopolised power.
