By 2040, we leave behind neoliberal policies and move towards economic and political organization in support of the common good. Meaning: more equal distribution, limits to growth (of individual companies), fair taxation and curbing practices that lead to exaggerated pursuit of self-interest to the detriment of economic equality and the environment. I would like to see a stronger European government, that is less influenced by lobbying and breaking away from particracy and ideological dogma's. Also, central banks should be governed by democratically chosen representatives, instead of anonymous economists and officials.

As a society we move beyond the neoliberal hegemony that sells us ideas of absolute individual freedom, which leads - I believe - to egoism and the pursuit of individual wealth. Our culture will be centered more around the interests of the community and human values.
