Global Employment Challenge
The project is grounded in the recognition that employment is not only an economic issue, but a fundamental pillar of human security, dignity, and social stability. Work provides income, but it also confers identity, purpose, skills, and participation in society. When large segments of the population are excluded from productive employment, the consequences extend beyond economics to social fragmentation, political instability, migration, and loss of trust in institutions.
This initiative examines the structural causes of job scarcity and insecurity, including technological displacement, financialization of economies, skills mismatches, and policy frameworks that prioritize efficiency over inclusion. It emphasizes the need to rethink employment as a central objective of economic and social policy rather than a by-product of growth.
A key focus of the project is exploring pathways to employment security, including the right to work, public and social employment programs, lifelong learning, and the alignment of technological innovation with job creation. The initiative also highlights the importance of integrating education, economic planning, and governance to ensure that productivity gains translate into broad-based opportunity.
Ultimately, the Global Employment Challenge project seeks to advance solutions that transform work into a foundation for human development and social cohesion. By placing employment at the center of economic policy, the project contributes to building more inclusive, resilient, and stable societies capable of sustaining long-term peace and shared prosperity.
PROJECT
New Economic Theory
The New Economic Theory (NET) project is a foundational effort to rebuild economic science by shifting its primary objective from capital efficiency to human well-being. It identifies current global crises鈥攕uch as extreme inequality and ecological collapse鈥攏ot as systemic accidents, but as the direct results of an outdated “mechanical” framework that treats the economy as a physical law rather than a social tool. By integrating economics with social values and environmental limits, NET seeks to provide the theoretical blueprint for a system that prioritizes human security, guaranteed employment, and sustainable prosperity over abstract quantitative growth.

PROJECT
From Newtonian Economics to Full Employment
This project acts as a theoretical intervention against the mechanical, “physics-envy” models that have dominated economic thought for centuries. It identifies a fundamental flaw in modern policy: the treatment of the economy as a fixed, natural system鈥攎uch like planetary orbits鈥攚here human suffering like unemployment is viewed as a regrettable but “natural” equilibrium.听By deconstructing these Newtonian foundations, the project proposes a shift from a mechanistic to a human-centered framework. It argues that the economy is a social invention, not a physical law, and should therefore be engineered to guarantee the right to employment as a primary objective. Rather than forcing society to adapt to the “laws” of the market, this initiative seeks to redesign economic theory to serve as a conscious tool for total human development and social stability.
