ABSTRACT: A substantial proportion of the world’s population is dissatisfied with
the way the global market-based economy operates. In particular, the desire of
consumers to pay as little as possible for a product and the desire of
producers and investors to make as much profit as possible, lead to actions
that drive down wages, undermine social welfare and damage the environment. To
counteract this, we propose that the millions of consumers who wish to change
the market adopt a combined buying and investing strategy that we term buyvesting in which “ethical” would
become the new “profitable”. We use a learning program to illustrate the buyvesting
proposal, which we discuss with respect to the concepts of competitive coherence and shared
reality theory.
