Two of the UK's leading economists call for an end to extreme
individualism as the engine of prosperity 'provocative but
thought-provoking and nuanced' Telegraph Throughout history,
successful societies have created institutions which channel both
competition and co-operation to achieve complex goals of general
benefit. These institutions make the difference between societies
that thrive and those paralyzed by discord, the difference between
prosperous and poor economies. Such societies are pluralist but
their pluralism is disciplined. Successful societies are also rare
and fragile. We could not have built modernity without the
exceptional competitive and co-operative instincts of humans, but
in recent decades the balance between these instincts has become
dangerously skewed: mutuality has been undermined by an extreme
individualism which has weakened co-operation and polarized our
politics. Collier and Kay show how a reaffirmation of the values of
mutuality could refresh and restore politics, business and the
environments in which people live. Politics could reverse the moves
to extremism and tribalism; businesses could replace the greed that
has degraded corporate culture; the communities and decaying places
that are home to many could overcome despondency and again be
prosperous and purposeful. As the world emerges from an
unprecedented crisis we have the chance to examine society afresh
and build a politics beyond individualism.
