One of the all-encompassing issues of our time is growing inequality within and between the countries. 

As today many statistics and analyses prove, inequality can only be resolved through conscious activity of policy-makers. Yet, current political approach to economic development remains short-sighted and incapable of addressing the difficult questions of human society's future. Resolving inequalities of our time through sustainable life-styles is the issue every single country needs to address as well as the global community as such. 

Yet, as we were able to witness during the debates on the post 2015 Agenda, we are unable to move beyond the concept of economic growth: in spite of all of the experience and evidence, the growth is still equalised with development, the issue of redistribution is carefully avoided and more and more we see the philosophy of blaming the victim prevail. 

On one hand, we witness artificial and even perverse consumption of the ultra-rich and on the other, the inability of providing for basic needs of the poorest. No amount of charity or development assistance can resolve this, only a fundamental change in prevailing philosophy of what the human values should be.
