The reference to "The Prosperous Way Do...Oops. The reference to "The Prosperous Way Down" (A very important resource) should be to Howard T. Odum (Eugene's brother), and to Elizabeth C. Odum (Mary Odum is Howard's daughter, and runs a website with this title, but was not an author of the referred to paper or book, A Prosperous Way Down). <br />My own paper on energy descent (just published by Integral Leadership Review) is also deeply influenced by the Odums, and includes a discussion of this pulsing cycle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336421732065342484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575603731696062553.post-5130841347601910132015-08-16T22:55:09.860-05:002015-08-16T22:55:09.860-05:00Almost any economic/political system could work - ...Almost any economic/political system could work - we just need to remove the human element!

It's very destructive. It is destroying itself, from the grassroots up. If the Capitalists at the top didn't get your pension last time, they will soon. If you have a million or two, good luck protecting it. It's in their sights.<br /><br />Bernie Sanders could, if his policies were put into action, without freaking out the establishment, save the nation; but they are already freaking. Saving the nation is unrelated to saving their billions, in their view.<br /><br />I wish you good luck, and just enough of it, because we are all going to need some!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904549664984991709noreply@blogger.com
