The NPR Ombudsman invites input from listeners about what is not being reported.
An equal sharing of natural wealth would mean a dampening of the boom and bust of the 'business cycle'. Respect of public property rights along with private property would mean a stable and sustainable civilization. The arc of civilization, thrive and collapse, would no longer threaten social and ecological health.
Equal sharing of natural wealth is consistent with natural law, as described by Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, John Stuart Mill, Adam Smith, Thomas Paine...
Equal sharing of natural wealth means economic externalities are no longer a problem. Our economy should not be giving us incentive to do harm by showing us lower prices for the most environmentally harmful choices. Fees on pollution and other environmental impacts will cause us to see the true costs of our decisions. Prices need to tell us the truth about real costs.
When will news reports about wealth disparity and poverty mention the fact that equal sharing of natural wealth makes those problems smaller?
When will reports about pollution and resource scarcity mention that fees on putting pollution and taking resources would promote sustainability in the most efficient and fair way?
