Perspectives for investment in ecological economics in Brazil
Keywords:
Ecological Economics, State Digital Currency, Collaborative Democracy, Projective Theory, Quantitative Easing, Qualitative Easing,Abstract
In this essay I discuss the ways to implement an ecological economic paradigm in Brazil, starting from the realization that our political trajectory has favored contrary proposals. From a future change in policy directions and changes in financial system legislation, I envision the possibility of financing sustainable environmental projects by means of quantitative and qualitative easing, using state digital currency, to be provided to producers and consumers through public and community banks. As an argument in favor of this kind of proposal, I make a brief philosophical analysis about the meaning of money, and I argue that today, with information technology, it is possible, even in fiscal crisis contexts, to generate money for specific purposes, such as financing of productive enterprises in ecological economy, and reinforcement of popular income to facilitate the consumption of the goods generated in these enterprises.
