Looking at the outcome at the end

Nine pieces that together carry one message: a society that thinks only of tomorrow will never reach the end. Personal, polemical, analytical, scientific, foundational, actionable — with two concrete policy recommendations for recovery and an education trilogy that leads to a choice.

★ In this edition

Nine pieces — one body of thought

Nine pieces — beginning with personal accountability, moving through polemical diagnosis and economic analysis, on to science, the foundation of Nova Democratia and its currency application, ending with two concrete policy recommendations. Education is developed as a trilogy in three parts — diagnosis, price and choice. Each piece stands on its own — together they form a continuous thread. For the technical workings behind them, we refer you to the supplement Behind the Numbers.
