“Even as the Consumer Story collapses and threatens to take us down with it, the Citizen Story is rising, across the world and in every sector of society. It is rooted in the insight that our agency is collective, not just individual; that we are defined by our fundamental interdependence, not our independence. The wisdom here is recognisable in philosophers of republicanism active today, such as Michael Sandel and Philip Pettit, but its roots are in much older cultures, expressed by contemporary voices such as the Aboriginal Australian philosopher Tyson Yunkaporta, and the proud Afrofuturism of Baratunde Thurston, Bayo Akomolafe and adrienne maree brown. All these thinkers and more are pointing our societies towards a strategy that taps into the ideas, energy and resources of everyone, on the understanding that all of us are smarter than any of us, and that this collaboration, not the aggregation of self-interest, is the route to the best outcomes for society as a whole. And it is happening everywhere, across the world, and in every sector.”
