Articulating common consensus

Description

Articulating common consensus involves systematically identifying, clarifying, and expressing shared agreements among diverse stakeholders to facilitate coordinated action. This strategy aims to bridge differences, reduce misunderstandings, and resolve conflicts by establishing clear, collective positions on key issues. By making consensus explicit, it enables effective decision-making, fosters trust, and mobilizes joint efforts, thereby remedying fragmentation, indecision, and inefficiency in addressing complex problems requiring unified responses.

Claim

There is already global consensus on the importance of democracy and human rights. There is a second consensus that it is best to organize the economic system in general around an open economy with the dimension of sustainable development. What is missing is a third consensus on social development -- the recognition that you need to create wealth in order to distribute wealth, with the result that the extreme accumulation of wealth is accompanied by the extreme expansion of poverty. If the means of security in human terms -- the third consensus -- is missing, this will affect the other two enormously.
