FORUM Kirche & Wirtschaft (Nord): Wirtschaft in Nöten. Warum eine Schwerpunktsetzung unumgänglich ist?

Deutschland, lange Zeit durch wirtschaftlichen Erfolg verwöhnt, sieht sich nun auch in wirtschaftlichen Belangen einer „Zeitenwende“ ausgesetzt.

Looking for a World in Balance: The “Inclusivity Index”, the Magical Square of the Great Transformation or How to Build a Social Strategy for the Global Civil Society

In this article, Ulrich Hemel proposes the concept of an „inclusivity index“ as a tool for assessing and improving development in various dimensions, including economic, social, ecological, and ethical. The inclusivity index aims to promote a more holistic approach to development, moving beyond the traditional focus on economic growth. The index uses existing global indices available for at least 180 countries such as the Gini index of social inequality in the social field, the carbon footprint in the ecological field, the GDP in the economic field and the Corruption Perception Index in the ethical field.
