This week The Next System Project launches “Beyond COVID-19: Prescriptions
for Economic Renewal,”
<https://community-wealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285e71110&id=31375bbd96&e=8155f3738d>
an ongoing symposium of bold ideas for building a new economy from the
wreckage of the old. As states resume economic activity after two months
under lockdown, the pressure is on to restore the old economy, and with it
all of the old inequities and perils to people and planet. Our
“Prescriptions” series provokes an urgent debate on how to prevent further
harms today and to build a more just and sustainable economy in the months
ahead. Our first set of prescriptions:

*Make public services truly public*
<https://community-wealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285e71110&id=438114ff38&e=8155f3738d>
Climate and energy researcher Johanna Bozuwa's essay for *Progressive
International's* “Blueprint” series argues that any plan for economic
renewal “must treat access to basic services like energy and water systems
as human rights and public goods, not as commodities to be bought and sold
on private markets.” To accomplish that goal, as well as to ensure that our
energy and water needs are delivered in a way that protects the planet and
rectifies historic inequities, she writes that “we need to reclaim and
rebuild our public services.”

*A timeline of the move to nationalize fossil fuels*
<https://community-wealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285e71110&id=0d0765ddbe&e=8155f3738d>
During a remarkable two-month period in which the price of oil at one point
literally fell below zero, the argument for nationalizing the fossil fuel
industry took on a new resonance. Researcher Juliana Broad has constructed
a fascinating, blow-by-blow interactive timeline that captures how an idea
on the left edge of public debate gained increased traction in the
political debate.
