There Must Be A Better Way

We can be sure that the financial & banking crisis is not the end of capitalism, or even the beginning of the end.

Enough sticking-plaster, provided by the taxpayer, will be applied to allow the capitalist system to stagger on until it feels confident enough to set off on its next global rip-off, on the back of another round of huge executive bonuses. The fact that capitalism wasn't able to avoid this close brush with Armageddon has shocked people to the core. And this is the system we were relying on to solve that other looming mega-crisis, global warming & its associated crises of oil, energy, food and deforestation! But once bitten, twice shy.

There must be a better way, there has got to be a better way.

Never the same again ....

It may seem far away from Mid Bedfordshire, but recent days have witnessed dramatic events in global finance markets. It's too early to be clear what's happening. We have a confluence of two global crises: this financial turmoil, and the world eco-crisis - oil, food, deforestation, global warming. One thing is quite certain. The world will never be the same again.
