Dr. Partha Ghosh, author of the new book India Towards 100: A Call for Reset, participated in Risk Roundup to discuss the Need For An Alternative Socioeconomic Model.
Need For An Alternative Socioeconomic Model
Emerging technologies are revolutionizing every aspect of society. The rapidly emerging technological tsunami in all human domains has leveled the playing field and brought countries an unprecedented possibility of progress.
History says that there has never been a lasting empire or civilization. The world as we see it is full of the debris of past empires. Today, cyberspace has brought each country to a juncture of revival and reformation or inevitable decline. So when the world is undergoing a profound and lasting shift in the relative balance of power due to the geopolitics of emerging technologies and the changing power dynamics, it is necessary to understand where we are going.
Because it is a known fact that nations generally fall from within, and the downfall is perhaps due to being unable to take advantage of their society’s substantial socio-economic potential for growth. However, what is more, tragic is that this kind of failure is essentially caused by the structural design of tilted and biased systems.
So, when we look at the different aspects of how each country has evolved over the years and what mistakes were made, the lessons will help us to better tomorrow.
Complex Challenges
Undoubtedly, there are complex challenges. Nations today face myriad challenges of inclusive and sustainable growth, requiring a paradigm shift in our systems and models. As a result, there is a need to define new ways, models, and systems to develop an alternative economy.
The challenges ahead are significant, but equally notable are the possibilities. Therefore, we must pause and evaluate how to overcome the obstacles. Then, with a new mindset, new tools, and constructive energy, we must explore the new horizons of technology transformation, cultural clashes, and socioeconomic problems. Together, we need to find new pathways that will accelerate the global socioeconomic progress towards a more enlightened state of humanity. The time is now to discuss the need for an alternative socioeconomic model!
