But behind the headlines, there is another story more important in the long run: the global economy is a house of cards based on speculation and military spending.
It seems likely that the house of cards will come crashing down as a result of the global economic shutdown.
The details of how this will come about in economic terms are difficult to predict since there are so many interacting factors. But even more important is how this can play out in political repercussions and opportunities.
Will it provide us with the opportunity to make the transition from the culture of war to a culture of peace?In the novella that I wrote ten years ago, I foresaw a global economic crash in the year 2020, which opened the possibility for this radical transformation.
