hello all, i am hoping to set up a 'mock market' as an educational campaign/PR strategy. The goal would be simulate a stock market that runs on the principles of 'people before profits' and anti-corporate greed.
corporations would be evaluated according to how socially and environmentally sustainable they are, ie. green technology, ethical investments, R and D investments, corporate social reposnsibility rather than profits. people's investment decisions would be based on a broader social investment scale so rather than mere valuing profits, we are evaluating what people do with profits.
might be a fun way to explore alternative corporate-society relations and gain perspective on how businesses need to give back to society rather than just redistribute money upwards to be considered successful.
anyone with ideas or knowledge on how to get this together?
I'm interested in the concept.
