  • Unbridged Divide3

    Enzo Short I, like many new world thinkers, have been looking for the possibility of a new age leader. In the UK the only man in the ivory towers of national power (including of those of corporations) who could perhaps satisfy such a need is Vince Cable. Alas, he has one serious flaw: He is either a one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind, or he, like most politicians, cannot think outside the box. He is unable to see or understand that booms and busts only appear to be normal because he and most of the "developed" world believe that unbridled capitalism is the only way to create wealth, without really understanding what true wealth is (not money!)

    Books worth reading in this regard are -
    Paul Hellyer - (Stop, Think - ISBN: 0969439466)
    David Harvey - (A Brief History of Neoliberalism - ISBN: 0199283273)
    Noreena Hertz - (The Silent Takeover - ISBN: 006055973X)
    Ellen Hodgson Brown - (Web of Debt - ISBN: 0979560829)

    It would be interesting to see whether Vince Cable has been able to bridge the divide between avariciously capitalist balderdash and true democracy in his next book due to come out in 2010. I would not buy anything of his before then, and would even wait for reviewers such as the aforesaid to comment.
    In the meantime read Paul Hellyer's book for a light introduction to what man-made systems are actually governing human affairs today.
    For a more detailed eye-opening exposé, read David Harvey's book.
    The book-of-books exposing what plutocrats are still controlling is the one by E H Brown.
    The only book that may be heavy-reading for the general reader is Harvey's book.
    All the authors offer solutions.

    I've posted Vince Cable a copy of the enlightening DVD called "Money as Debt" to look at. He should also study the aforesaid literature. If he is honest and truly seeking the truth, he will have an awakening that will put him above any level he has been at ever before. He needs only act from that level, if he has the courage.

    Humans are no different from other creatures in their quest to survive, even at the expense of their fellow creatures, whether inadvertently or wilfully. The only aliens we can truly know to exist in the universe are those who have alienated their fellow creatures with greed.

    There is only one organisation that I know of that can provide the antidote for capitalist excesses: ISPO (www.Simpol.org). It doesn't condemn capitalism; it promotes effective global democracy. It takes the democratic system to a higher evolutionary level, far higher than the feudalistic levels to which we are sinking back today.
