I am 86 year old. A grand father of 6 children (youngest 2, eldest 25)
Born and grew up in Budapest, Hungary. Live in England since 1956.
I think parents an grandparents need to think seriously about the state of the world we are leaving to our descendants.
Hence my interest in this project with emphasis on Effective Altruism.
Hello everyone,
I am Janos, a newbie member of two days. Originally from Hungary but have been living in London since late 1950′s.
Interested in systemic reform of the current version of “capitalism” which is not capitalism as Adam Smith taught us.
I consider Effective Altruism as an immediate response to current suffering, like a First Aid service. But it has to run in parallel with effective efforts to transform a structurally faulty global system.
As I see that problem, it is based on a bad economic model which is structured to extract the wealth created socially, and transfer it to the top percentile of a population.
PS
I have a self-taught economist’s detailed view of the “nuts’n’bolts analysis of the problem...
