Global competition is about winners and losers.

But we can also take the radical view that the test of an economy has to do with the extent to which it is providing everybody with a decent means of living.

There is no visible sign that the current politicians in the US are willing to see the need for change.

As long as you have a system that is based on the rational that if you are making money you are thereby making a contribution to society, these financial rogue practices will continue.

So, there is enormous instability in the global economy with a shift of winners and losers.

If there is to be a human future, we must bring ourselves into balanced relationship with one another and the Earth.

There are actually very few US politicians who have integrity and vision.
