For decades we’ve been told that workers, communities, and the environment need to sacrifice for economic prosperity. But recent research has shown that the package of economic policies that Canada and other nations have been pursuing - lower corporate taxes, weaker labour and employment legislation, and privatization of public infrastructure and services - has only served to increase economic inequality at the expense of human and planetary health. The failure of the current model creates an opportunity for us to reimagine an economy that serves the needs of all people and the communities where we live and work. Alternative economic principles and evidence can guide us as we build a more just and equitable economy.
