Re: Are We Headed into an Economic “Black Hole?”
sum

Opinion is divided whether humanty's problems can be solved by improving the system or whether we need to make a "great transition".  The underlying economic problem as I see it is that we are destroying nature with our expanding economy. Instead of seeing ourselves as fitting within natural systems, we think we are above them. So long as nations compete, the destructive economics will continue, so we need some kind of global governance. With nuclear weapons at the ready, how can we agree on even the least intrusive form of global federalism? So yes, we need a great transition. While improvements might buy us some time, we cannot muddle through the global crisis.
