Created by Maff Clack Category: Top Issues of Our Time01160At Tony's urging I'm uploading the detailed brief behind a petition I've submitted to the EU, on a possible step forward in addressing climate change, using the existing structure of WTO rules. The petition reference is 1107/2019 and can be found at the link below. I don't claim this is anything other than a possible seed of a better solution, but if you see some merit in the idea we'd be grateful if you could take the time to register and support the petition. Maybe with enough support we'll see if we can't get someone to get that seed to flourish. Thanks! https://petiport.secure.europarl.europa.eu/petitions/en/petition/content/1107%252F2019/html/Petition-No-1107%252F2019-by-Matthew-Clack-%2528British%2529-on-urging-the-WTO-to-recognise-that-absence-of-environmental-regulation-represents-an-%25E2%2580%259Cactionable-subsidy%25E2%2580%259D..

In the UK we have enough experience of capitalism to know that it broadly works for us but also to understand some of the Pros and Cons. Meritocratic Capitalism (MC) is an attempt to now move on a stage both addressing the Cons and accentuating the Pros. As a result resetting our expectations of organisations operating in the UK. Essentially the objective is to change our society over time to be based on merit and reward merit, whether organisational merit or personal merit, at every turn. The objective of MC is also to be relevant to the long-term and future generations, not just the short-term. In particular to take account of the speed of technological change and in particular the high potential but likely disruption of some of the advances such as Artificial Intelligence... More »
