Welcome, my name is Rob Skelton and I am trying to recalibrate capitalism, back to where it works for everyone, instead of the rich getting richer.
Why Unism?
Well, the predominant forms of economy are communism, socialism and capitalism.
It might simply be a placeholder name.
I wouldn’t be comfortable with Skeltonism – partially because the end result will be well beyond ideas I have – so it needs a made up name. Something not too defining…
It might mean un-ism – because it is less fixed and more anarchic than communism and capitalism.
Or it might mean unified-ism, because it contains aspects of socialism, capitalism and anarchy.
I don’t even know how to pronounce it. But it will do for now.
The Purpose. A place for news and ideas and teasers for the book I am working on – The Future Is Upside Down: The Reversal of Capitalism in a Declining World. I am trying to create a replacement for capitalism in a future of negative growth, primarily due to population decline from 2050 onwards. And how to transition. It is no small challenge!
