A Chinese Ecological Approach to Reforming the Corporate Ecosystem
from Part III - Impacts on the Natural/Human Ecosystem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 July 2022
This concluding chapter suggests a new approach to realigning the corporate-political ecosystem toward an ecologically friendly approach to development. Basing its proposals on a combination of traditional Chinese philosophical principles drawn from Daoism and Confucianism, especially channeling "vital energy" (qi), and contemporary ecological science and behavioral economics, the chapter suggests expanding intraparty democracy within the Chinese Communist Party, altering official incentive systems, and testing a more transparent approach to official entrepreneurialism. Combining these reforms will continue to allow the incredible energy of Chinese people and private firms (not to mention pragmatic and competent government officials) to improve their living standards and quality of life, while channeling that energy in less harmful directions with the aim of preventing ecological and climate change catastrophe.
