The Death Vs Life Economy

Learning activity

Take a moment to think about the dominant thought process of short-term profit maximisation, championed by economist Milton Friedman, which underlies the actions of most companies.

Then focus on your workplace and write down ONE aspect of your company's operations that prioritises short-term financial gain over long-term value creation for societal and planetary wellbeing. Do you think this needs to change? Why or why not?

If you do not work for the private sector, you may answer the same question referencing a company that you're familiar with.
