Deep dives
Rethinking Economic Management
Current economic policies prioritize managers at the top while underfunding public services and driving supply through performance targets. This model promotes the exploitation of resources by private enterprises, leading to a misallocation of funds and neglect of essential services. There is a pressing need to rethink this approach, as ongoing economic challenges may lead to significant changes in the next few years. The emphasis should be on enhancing understanding of these dynamics and adapting strategies to either foster growth or mitigate decline.
