The philanthropic investment group created by the founder of eBay hopes to reassure business leaders and policymakers that the time has come to redefine capitalism.
The Omidier Network, founded by Pierre Omidier, is issuing a blueprint that calls on investors to adopt a new and seemingly more progressive approach to understanding capitalism.
Om Mediar’s group reaffirms the economic system “as ensuring that those who have been marginalized by structurally racist, colonialism, patriarchy and indifference are given a chance to see the economic system as a way to gain opportunity, power and self-determination.” It comes from economic prosperity and a vibrant, fair and responsive democracy, ”the report said. He also argues that capitalism should still be beneficial to personal success.
According to Forbes, Omidier’s net worth is just over 17 17 billion. He recently retired from the eBay board. Om Mediar’s wife, Pam, co-founded the Om Mediar Network.
The network aims to be the voice in the larger debate about capitalism, using corporate, philanthropic and policy spaces to reassure leaders that they are committed to the U.S. His proposal for an economic system should be followed. The organization has previously announced that it intends to spend 35 35 million over three years on philanthropic initiatives by 2021.
The move comes as millions of people have lost their jobs in times of the coronavirus epidemic and civil unrest. The proposition seems to go further than what is defined as share capitalism, which is the assumption that businesses should also help people outside of their shareholders and also focus on local communities.
This outline is being published, at least to some extent, in the hope that essential workers, including health care workers, will increase the power of collective bargaining after their fight on the front lines of Covid-19.
“We think that if anything (coronavirus) clarifies the need for this blueprint, we think it’s fairly complex to focus on, and take advantage of those moments,” Mike Kubzanski, the organization’s CEO, told CNBC on Sunday. Let’s say people focus, are essential workers and try to increase their bargaining power. ”
The proposal of Om Mediar Group is arranged by five columns.
“The pillars are not specific policy proposals, but key elements that any new economic settlement must consider,” the network argues.
Perez has described the pillars as grounding the economy in new ideas, shared values and inalienable rights; Clearly anti-racial and building an inclusive economy; Creating forms of counterweight with economic power; Rebalancing the relationship between markets and communities; And building a resilient economy.
Omidier’s group suggests that the economy should “reject any historical historical justifications of slavery or racism, as well as fundamentalism in all its forms.” The group also believes the economy should overcome racial barriers that it believes are embedded in American society.
His third pillar of resistance to economic power, pressure against monopolies and calls for strengthening bottom-line unions and labor unions.
