Statement on Building the New Economy

Some politicians and economists still cling to the old claims that bigger is better, greed is good, a fossil-fueled economy is inevitable, and inequality is efficient. A growing body of evidence has shown this model to be bankrupt.
Instead of prosperity, it is feeding ever-wider inequalities of wealth and power that erode our health and economic well-being.
Instead of full employment, it is generating monthly job growth that fails to match labor force growth.
Instead of a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren, it has brought us to the brink of an unprecedented environmental crisis, consistently overstating the costs of actions to protect our climate while understating their benefits.
