We need a resilient economy, one which creates the good jobs that give people the income to live good lives now. It must have the security to make us confident we can live good lives in the future. It must be useful, diverse, and non-exploitative. It can not contain high levels of risk, or which falls over in a crisis. This resilient economy must be based on a resilient environment, able to regenerate itself and sustain our lives now and in the future.
