The capitalist market economy has reached its end. The coming years will bring massive shifts in global power. And the climate crisis will hit us hard. In short: we need to reorganize ourselves \u2014 sooner rather than later.<\/strong><\/p>

But most of us still don\u2019t really want to face it. Preferably \u201cbusiness as usual.\u201d I, however, am convinced that we need a new system design: the BEconomics!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Allow me to introduce myself: I\u2019m the Economics Coach \u2014 economic philosopher, satirist, and pop economist. Huh? Yes, you read that right. Because The Economics Coach (TEC) is, in part, a pop-cultural project: no annoying ideology, no dry theory \u2014 but alongside the flood of thoughts on this website, also songs and music videos, performed by my \u201cband\u201d The BEconomics and published on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Perhaps, purely theoretically, the following questions come to mind: What place do community-based economic models have in a world of predatory capitalism? Why talk about a better world when we barely have the energy to keep the multiple crises somewhat under control?<\/p>

The answer is radically simple: because major crises sooner or later make change absolutely necessary. And that is the opportunity for a new system design!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
