GOOD AND BAD ECONOMICS TO THINK ALOUD

--

All over the world intellectuals are talking about GOOD and BAD economics after 2019 Nobel Price declaration for economics. In this respect, the Centre for Environmental Efficiency shares some thoughts to think aloud.
What kind of economy do we want for the governments to sustain?
Facilitating excessive alcohol consumerism to take excise tax?
Inculcating fossil fuel consumerism to collect sales tax and cess?
Encouraging rural land consumerism causing transmission and transportation losses apart from biodiversity and agricultural productivity loss?
Breeding mosquitoes and get tax from goodnight and betternight products?
Causing morbidity/ diseases and take the share from hospitals and medical shops?
Look around us!
Most glittered and prosperous places are liquor shops, petrol bunks, medical shops, automobile shops and hospitals.
Are we not nose-diving?

What more? The lion’s share of the collected tax of the governments are distributed to salaries and pensions of government employees and debt service charges and very less amount is coming to developmental activities.
Are we inside a vicious circle?
All these are human development decelerating and ecological footprint enhancing agents causing lesser and lesser environmental efficiency (EE) and carrying capacity (CC).
Centre for Environmental Efficiency stands for improvement of EE & CC values by prompting civic society and governments to take corrective policies, programs and projects.
Share this thought to as many people as you can as a collective movement only can change the trajectory.
