My take on the sustainability of economies
Originally published on "Wirtschaft und Mensch" on Jan. 7th, 2018 Q: What is your definition of a sustainable economy? A: There’s actually several answers to this question.

In other words: An economy, which by its existence and mechanisms hurts, in the long run, those who are part of it, is not sustainable. Becau
