Abstract

The world is facing a slow-motion catastrophe, a vision that is not in publications of some original thinkers, but is showing up under the pen of top world researchers. The convergence of environmental disasters, explosive inequality, deteriorating politics and financial chaos has stimulated new attitudes, a search for new rules of the game. The pandemic hitting our planet only made the necessary changes more urgent, and possibly more viable. In the present paper we are presenting an overview of some of the more significative initiatives, like the Economia da Francesco by Pope Francis, 181 corporations defining new guidelines at the Business Round Table meeting, big financial corporations, the Roosevelt Institute and a number of social scientists. We are all looking for a road-map.
