QuestionHow should an economic system be devised that isn't in conflict with human, animal or planet rights? Jens VoschAnsweroriginal language english
Roland Berger: I think, there must be such an economic system that firstly really respects people, that is, a system which enables people to develop their skills and abilities, to use them in full and to emphasize them. And this, of course, requires that this system guarantees possibly fulltime jobs and prevents unemployment.
That's the first point, secondly, this economic system must show respect for the using of the resources, that means, it must avoid any kind of wasting of natural or human resources, it must if possible use the resources, which can be used several times, which are regenerative.
In other words, there must be such an economic system which is characterized by its respect for the people on the one hand and by its respect for the natural resources on the other hand, which uses people in the possible way, which gives them chances to develop their skills and which uses the resources economically, and also in the form that these resources can regenerate themselves.
