Re-democratizing the economy begins with a radical change of perspective

Evidence

We must re-democratize the economy so that citizens can reclaim the most important choices that regulate the very foundations of their lives. That is a better way forward than anything capitalism has or can offer. What is the first step in this direction? It is a radical change of perspective. There is nothing more political than the lens through which we view the world. Only if we learn to look at the world differently can we act differently. — Clara E. Mattei, Escape from Capitalism, 36
