From 'Broken Britain' to 'Purposeful Britain'
Humanity is waking up every day to a world with ever increasing challenges ... in a Britain many now refer to as 'Broken Britain' ... a Britain which has lost its sense of purpose, the strong values/virtues it once held, and the sense of community/service that once prevailed ... a place where nothing seems to work anymore ...
And they are not wrong. In addition we now face a highly uncertain (and disruptive) future ... not least because of the growing application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential future impact on jobs.
More and more distinguished/learned people are expressing the future importance of values, vision, and purpose, and the need for a new Economics, a Post AI Economics, with an increased focus on sustainability, humanity, meaning and purpose ... which we call Purposeful Economics†.
So what would a
Purposeful Britain, powered by
Purposeful Education,
Purposeful Organizations,
Purposeful Enterprise,
Purposeful Economics,
Purposeful Finance,
Purposeful Investors, and
Purposeful Government†
look like? ... Well we can start by comparing
'Broken Britain'
with
'Purposeful Britain'
... e.g. the
scrollable table below
shows just a few of the
differences, and a sense of how refreshing a
renewed

Purposeful Britain®
