This week the FT is publishing a series on “Capitalism in Crisis”. Crikey!

Larry Summers, for one, is astounded:

It would have been almost unimaginable five years ago that the Financial Times would convene a series of articles on “Capitalism in Crisis”. That it has done so is a reflection both of sour public opinion and distressing results on the ground in much of the industrial world.”

Ken Wilber's thinking on human evolution may be of interest, especially the concept of "transcend and include." Intriguing post, Ian, thanks!

Final quote says it all. What I find interesting are comments people like Brown in England are making about universal cooperation among the worlds banks - other world leaders are speaking like wise of global cooperation - it appears it is happening. Thanks Ian. Final quote says it all.

The contrast between the re-cyled theories (which sound so desperate and frustrating), and the depthful calm of the Adi Da Samraj quote is striking. I'll go for "everybody all at once".

Reminded me of that study of Marx many moons ago now and in fact how little the pattern has changed - until now! There can be no doubt now that we are one humankind on one world and the idea of separate nations finding solutions without acknowledging - not only the presence of their neighbor, but their complete reliance on their neighbor for their own survival, is key to the future of everything. I guess if all neighbor nations realize that, it becomes, as Adi Da suggests here - everybody-all-at-once. That will an interesting turn of events! Peter Thanks Ian.
