| The system we're talking about is the 'political economy' - the combination of political and economic power embodied in the current state-corporate alliance. We don't believe that the crises of [nature](/ntre/nature) and [democracy](/demo/democracy) that we're facing can be solved within the existing political economy. Neither do we believe that the current system is inevitable - systems have always changed and always will. Below are what we see as the main factors affecting the need for, and potential for, system change. | The system we're talking about is the 'political economy' - the combination of political and economic power embodied in the current state-corporate alliance.
