- Comment One can hardly fail to notice the recourse to the concept of “competitive sustainability” in the speech. But what does “competitive sustainability” mean? Following sentences in the speech seem to relate the concept to broad principles of stability, solidarity across generations and between employers and employees, meaningfulness, and engagement, within a frame of reference that contrasts them against (broadly speaking) profit-seeking and utilitarianism. While one can sympathise with such understanding, we should also remind us that “competitive sustainability” also bears a more specific meaning within scholarly circles, which could help substantiate the principle into more specific policy actions.
