One thing is certain, humanity must reign in its exploitation of resources or very soon, we will irrevocably cripple our environment. It will take austerity measures. The longer we wait the more austere the measures we must take will be. You would think that there would be a political will to attack this problem head-on, before we lose everything. Unfortunately, politicians seem to be unable to think beyond their next election cycle. Fortunately, there are people like Peter Bearse, PhD, who are in tune with the modality of the times. He has some incredibly forward looking thoughts, all seen from the point of view of an economist., to steer humanity in the right direction before it becomes too late. From “We the People …” to modern capitalism, Peter takes aim at the roadblocks keeping us from being the world leader in forward thinking, empowering the individual with an understanding of how to motivate politicians, and rings the bell of inclusiveness to bring everyone together. We have two choices: Solve the problem or suffer the consequences. Everyone is responsible.
