Document Summary
How to create good jobs: change the rules. Abandon the golden rule! (those with the gold rule!) Abandon austerity! (we need more government and fair taxes to ensure more equality) Governments need to change the macro-economic framework that determines the economic fundamentals (the business climate is also our climate!) We need monetary policies (money supply and interest rates) and fiscal policies (taxing and spending) that focus on creating good jobs, not profits and wealth. Current trade policies are bad news for people and the planet. Global trade policy lies at the heart of a system that impoverishes millions, rolls back vital protections for workers and our environment, and allows corporations to override democratic decisions. The biggest trade deals -- the trans pacific partnership, and the transatlantic. Trade & investment partnership -- are being pushed by corporate lobbyists and their politicians.
