Financing the global sharing economy

Page 37

The following sections outline how governments can mobilise over $2.8 trillion to finance the global sharing economy as an immediate global priority. Each section presents an overview of a specific policy that campaigners have long advocated for, such as debt cancellation, increased international aid or tax justice. An estimate is provided for how much money governments could mobilise if they implemented these recommendations. Additional boxes explain related ‘global justice’ issues in more detail, such as the problems associated with financial speculation, free trade and perverse subsidies. A short assessment of the feasibility and current state of play for each policy recommendation is included in terms of both political progress and public support. Key additional resources are also highlighted alongside important campaigns that can help concerned citizens to learn more and get involved in the global movement for sharing and justice.
