Seeing the climate change, we need to change. The government is supporting solar energy, wind energy, electrification of cars and cooking, a circular economy, and that’s good! But this way we won’t get there. We need to go to a different economic system.

In the days of the solar king Louis XIV, his minister of finance, Colbert, had a system. The economy is a pie, each country has a slice, countries have to make war to make their slice of the pie grow. Now that system is outdated. We know that each country can grow and we can even benefit of the growth of other countries.

In the medieval times most people worked in agriculture. Since the industrial revolution this shifted to the cities and industry. But by mass production most workers now work in the services, like offices, tourism, entertainment etc. The services are the sector that’s the most usefull for our wealth and society. When agriculture and industry aren’t so important anymore economically and socially, we must not try to grow as much as we can in agricultural production, but produce in such a way that it’s sustainable. We must not try to grow as much as we can with our industry, we must make it circular and supportive for the services. 

You can make big profits by services, it's more dynamic. For mining and industry you need to grow in infrastructure, that needs big investments and takes time. Growth in the services is human action, it booms easily. Growth in industry and mining is a heavy burden on the planet. Already since the 1970’s we know there’s borders to growth. Our planet can’t bear it.

If we don’t change our economic way of thinking, we will be forced  to change our way of thinking and acting by disaster. It’s up to politics to make unpleasant necessary decisions.

WE MUST FOCUS ON A SERVICES ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR PRODUCTION IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE!
