current systems of economics? I have been working on a research project and given the current world population of approximately 6.8 billion people and a projected population growth to 9 billion people by the year 2050. How feasible is it to believe that a free market capitalism or dictatorial socialist/communist economic structure will continue to be sustainable?
I mention this question because historically resource/energy consumption are directly tied to economic systems and their correlating governments. As the earth's population continues to increase at what point does sustainability factor in to resource consumption and an accompanying economics system.
Will there ever be away to address disparities about resource utilization or solving the problems of the haves and have nots. I am not advocating for any particular economics system but it does seem pluasible that when a situation exists where there are those who are not vested, non-contributing and are disenfranchised from the common welfare of everyone crime, corruption, greed, conflicts, and wars have a tendency to ensue.
If not participatory Economics, then what is the alternative? Because we feel that democracy is the most effective form of government where everyone has a vote and is supposed to be vested in their government will there ever be an economic system that applies these same guidelines?
