Democracy 2.0 Capitalism 2.0: People as a market- Children as the most precious mineral

I was geared in to action to cover the wider arena of Social Impact Bonds, Social Inclusion- Social Equity- Social Cohesion- Social Emotional Learning- Data Harvesting- Ed Tech- Wellbeing and the government creating the infrastructure, upon reading the recently released Australian government Strengthening Australian Democracy paper.

The Strengthening Australian Democracy paper puts Social Impact Investors front and centre as the antidote to fractures in social cohesion.

Though Social Impact investing has many focus areas; the Australian government is building the infrastructure to allow for full scale surveillance and data mining on children (from birth- to be pre birth) and their parents. This surveillance is to allow for market INTERVENTIONS on children and families. It’s part of the Wellbeing economy- where “Values are placed before Value”. And we must “Measure What Matters.” Australian Treasurer Chalmers is leading the way for Australia.

In my attempt at Strengthening Australian Democracy (actually letting the people know what’s going on is a good first step- free tip to the Australian government), I have put together a video explaining what I understand about the Social Impact market and its implications.
