Vienna TEDx talk: What is the Goal of the Economy? A Common Good?

The economy is on its head.  The present economic model is not taking care of the planet or people.  The majority want a alternative economic order.

He asks important questions.  Yes, there are plenty of alternatives, we all get to choose.  He speaks of the economy of the common good as the goal.  Is the goal the accumulation of capital?  Or is it about the common good?  What is success and how does that align with the goal?  He speaks of Gross National Happiness (one of my favourites).
