The night I watched TV, the major product being sold was the automobile. It was apparent that the car is sold as our escape from the drudgery we experience. But look at traffic now. The car itself has become a tool of drudgery. Western culture is based, at this time, on a basic belief that growth should be constant and unending.
Corporations have no room for temporary downturns in buying patterns.
This creates a need to sell harder and harder, and to expand markets into new arenas, eliminating companies that specialize. This is like expecting one s heart or lungs to perform their functions without ever contracting. The change of our economic system could happen in an evolutionary way or in a revolutionary way. As you consider this possibility, check whether your belief is based on fear or love. Many people have thought about how they could take advantage of such an event.
