Two schools of thought tend to dominate today’s economic debates. According to free-market economists, governments should cut taxes, reduce regulations, reform labor laws, and then get out of the way to let consumers consume and producers create jobs.

We need a new Sustainable Development Economics, with governments promoting new types of investments. | Two schools of thought tend to dominate today’s economic debates.

It was a formidable year not only for human rights suppression and wartime atrocities but also for selective government outrage and transactional diplomacy that carried profound costs for the rights of those not in on the deal. Yet amid the gloom, we saw signs of hope showing the possibility of a different path. | We only have to look at the human rights challenges of 2023 to tell us what we need to do differently in 2024.
