This is a great article! An economy that would solve our issues would be one where the people have love for each other and moderation in their behavior (including simplicity in processes). Fortunately, it's not a new idea. Such an "economy" exists within happy families and among friends and it even worked socially during the medieval ages.
To achieve this today, however, is difficult, but not impossible. I believe that if we essentially focus on 2 things, we can have this economy.
1. Better options for family and the poor.
Additional ideas:
A. Civics classes could be held in every school once a week. These classes would teach the importance of helping each other (instead of only helping ourselves), cooperating while achieving higher standards (instead of only competing), and moderating our behavior by yearning to supply only what we need (instead of yearning for infinitely more). This would change the next generation by teaching them love and moderation.
B. If the Pirates were to travel to each city holding seminars about the importance of such concepts while working with local charities and community groups, we could further catalyze such an economic shift.
