Solon,
OH, USA -- W&A, a former holding company that is transforming
into a "virtual startup' geared to implementing a strategic plan
and creating an international movement oriented to saving liberal
democracy, unifying peoples, and resisting authoritarianism
worldwide, had its official launch of the strategic plan.
Worldwide,
tottering democracies coupled with "unfettered capitalism"
are in crisis largely because their rhetoric does not match their
reality. Rather than being the guarantors of opportunity, freedoms,
equality, justice, fairness, and inclusion they have proven to be
architects of oligarchy, kleptocracy, corruption, racial, gender,
religious, class, and representational inequality,
hyper-partisanship, polarization, identity politics, and zero-sum
politics and economics. Authoritarians are taking advantage of these
vulnerabilities by engaging in campaigns designed to subvert
democratic processes, "weaponize" democracy's (and
capitalism's) vulnerabilities and thereby destroy the liberal world
order.
W&A
has responded to these challenges by developing a universally
applicable strategic plan designed to save liberal democracy, unify
peoples, and resist authoritarianism and nationalism worldwide. The
plan is contained in a recently published book entitled, Ensuring
Justice, Fairness, and Inclusion in America: Managing Equity in the
21st Century, written by its President, Dr.
Charles A. Washington, and in a series of five (5) white
papers and promotional
gear. The book and the strategic plan mark the
first ever attempt to fully operationalize John B. Rawls' seminal
concept, "Justice as Fairness." The strategic plan details
a revolutionary (Rawlsian) management system called "Equity
Management," and a web-based software system called the "Plato
Management Information System," as solutions to this crisis.
Democracy's
problems are multi-faceted, and the solution must be as well. Saving
democracy requires that it be reimagined and reinvented. Further,
democracy must be saved in America first if it is to be saved at all.
In response to this crisis, newspaper correspondents, think tanks,
individual scholars, major universities (Harvard University, the
University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Pennsylvania),
etc. have begun examining the crisis of liberal democracy and
capitalism seeking ways to save them. These early efforts have no
viable solutions to offer to date. W&A's "Rawlsian
solutions" call for establishing new social contracts in
tottering democracies with emphasis on the promotion of
representative consensus democracy, justice, fairness, and inclusion.
The solutions that W&A is offering are the first and only
real-world, comprehensive, practical solutions designed to save
liberal democracy, unify peoples and resist authoritarianism
worldwide (and by extension save capitalism) that can actually work.
Pursuant
to its mission ("creating one vision and empowering one
future"), W&A is soliciting all like-minded countries,
governments, corporations, organizations, and individuals who are
concerned about the current state of democracy and capitalism in
America and around the world and who want to do something about it,
to heed this clarion call. Explore our website.
