The global economic slowdown is not letting up, and in response several countries, especially the big capitalist powers, are becoming increasingly protectionist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBON said that People Economics is an alternative to\ngovernment\u2019s failed neoliberalism. This draws from the policies and demands of\nthe people\u2019s movement, as well as IBON\u2019s more than 41 years of experience in\nadvocating for social and economic reforms. The group said that it envisions a\nPhilippines that can be transformed into a modern industrialized nation that is\nmore equal, humane, and ecologically sustainable. It lays the foundation for a\nfuture where the Filipino people continuously change society for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People economics is comprised of six pillars: Develop the\ncountryside; Build Filipino industries; Protect the environment; Uphold\npeople\u2019s rights and welfare; Finance development; and Strive for sovereignty\nand independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBON said that People Economics can be further articulated\nand enriched as an alternative to neoliberalism. The contributions of the\nprogressive movement and other advocates for genuine change is needed to come\nup with the most concrete and comprehensive solutions to the country\u2019s social\nand economic problems, the group said. ###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download your copy of the People Economics booklet Research group IBON is launching its campaign on People Economics to promote much-needed policy reforms that would really benefit the majority of Filipinos and engender genuine national development.
