Technology is moving fast, but the corresponding forms of social management are not. The result is that we have efficient corporations (outputs) with an overall negative result (outcomes) in terms of climate change, income inequality and destruction of natural resources. This is linked to systemic loss of productivity in the use of labor, credit, social policies and technology itself. The main suggested alternatives are linked to improved accounting systems, more democratic governance both in the public and private spheres, as well as more dynamic participation of civil society organizations.

Keywords : Sustainable Development; Corporate Governance; Economic Democracy.
