Why does capitalism need to be reset and who does the resetting? Why use the jargon "stakeholders" to replace producers and consumers? Who are they?

"To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a "Great Reset” of capitalism."

"Left unaddressed, these crises, together with COVID-19, will deepen and leave the world even less sustainable, less equal, and more fragile. Incremental measures and ad hoc fixes will not suffice to prevent this scenario. We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems."

"Clearly, the will to build a better society does exist. We must use it to secure the Great Reset that we so badly need. That will require stronger and more effective governments, though this does not imply an ideological push for bigger ones. And it will demand private-sector engagement every step of the way."

And a lot of other utopian notions.

Tim adds:

Great points Carlos! And what exactly is a "stakeholder"? This is aimed at empowering non-stakeholder
