This is one of the signs of what we discussed with few friends over years -
destruction of social contract. Localities - here in the US and in UK are
printing their own money. We had coupons back in USSR that could only be
received by locals and used at local shops. Later, it turned into local
currencies. It seems that 20 years after Soviet Union, US is moving almost in
entirely same direction.<br>
<br>
I know somebody posted a link to a gentleman named Orlov, who speaks around the
US on this subject. With some observations, understanding of history,
geo-political, psychological and sociological trends - and of course, first
hand experience in the fall of a super power - you could see strong potential
for problems in the US as early as in early 1990's. It became more apparent in
early 2000's.<br>
<br>
Expansive (vs intensive) growth model is doomed to collapse. In reality, green
economy (i.e. more efficient, intensive economy) is the only hope for the US to
come out of this mess in a descent shape. USSR wanted to convert to a more
efficient and intensive economy - it just was not called green then. We failed
back then, and you know what happened. <br>
<br>
I will be more than glad to share my thoughts on this to any group. This is not
doom-and-gloom conspiracy theory stuff. This is real analysis of facts and
trends, based on economic, political, cultural and historical data.<br>
