Stephen, Yes we have chatted on this Currencies thread. >>how do you balance growth, capital flows and environmental concerns to produce a better place for all to live<< Your question is an important one for the generations that will inherit the next 100 years. Actually, it is extremely urgent that answers be found for these problems of which your are concerned...namely how to balance environmental concerns, the continuos economic capital demands and the greed of the earth's people. Important, not only to find the answers, but also critical that implementation be on an “international” level. The politicians of the future will need to be convinced that their best interests lie in working out solutions. newsweek.washingtonpost.com This article is a remarkably insightful look into the core of the problem and is certainly worth printing for further reference. Soros maybe a disagreeable individual...but his insights into our worlds economic systems are direct, distinctly capable, provable and furthermore correct. His voiced concerns are directly related to your original question on the declining standard of living here in the USA and also in 40% [if not more] of the industrialized world. Remember, 80% of the worlds total population lives at or below the subsistence level with little education, medicine and food. This planet could not withstand the industrialization of the total population. Nor the capitalistic imprint of consumer heaven for everyone...... Within this article are the seeds for answers to the questions you have on bridging the environmental, social and economic considerations of the next 100 years. We certainly cannot continue to prosper and destroy within the old archetype of the “1900's - Industrial National Machine.” In some manner...it will have to change. Change on an international scale will not occur unless the archtype within which Human societies and individuals function does not itself change. Perhaps what we are watching is the first inkling of a significant and universal systems collapse as anticipated by Soros...from that destruction another less exploitive and environmentally sound system may evolve for the people of this earth.....its caretakers. Arnold Toynbee, a great historian and one of the first thinkers to write about the cyclical nature of human society writes so clearly you can feel the rise and fall of the great societies that he traced. He clearly demonstrated that archtypes do change...although not always for the better. There is no inherent reason why today's cultural experiments with free market capitalistism, communism and socialist systems...with their respective economic engines can not be abandoned for a better and more significantly human system of life-living and functioning economic processes. Lets See What Happens Chip
