Letters to the Editor: World needs an entirely new economic ideology

Remote working is not about creating new jobs, but about the ability to relocate jobs not just around the village or town or country but around the world.

There appears to be absolute denial in Government and administrative circles that economics have changed very much at all, as gung-ho policies supported by stratospheric ‘borrowings’ are directed towards ‘recovery’ of a failing economic system which simply cannot function properly in a highly technological super-abundant world where ‘work’ is being greatly diminished as each day passes.

To misquote a famous line of Bill Clinton: “It’s not the pandemic stupid; it’s failure to adapt to the most powerful technological ability ever devised by the human brain which has this world in the greatest economic mess ever experienced”.
