Två fina länkar för den som har tråkigt:

Nån grabb som kallar sig Fabian gör utmärkta remixar, i synnerhet den på 1901 av Phoenix är helt enastående. Om länken inte fungerar så är det bara att söka på Fabian på hypem.com. Jag lyckas av någon anledning aldrig få till en fungerande länk till den sidan.

The Sustainable Development Commission har släppt en mycket intressant rapport, Prosperity without Growth.
"governments really need to take a long, hard look at the effects of our single-minded devotion to growth... in developed countries including the UK, far from increasing prosperity, our debt-driven consumption has created an unstable system which has put jobs and livelihoods at risk, as well as damaging us psychologically and socially."
"Prosperity without growth? finds that our current financial crisis is directly linked to our pursuit of growth. Our reliance on debt to finance the cycle of growth has created a deeply unstable system which has made individuals, families and communities inherently vulnerable to cycles of boom and bust, while increasing consumption does not make us happier.
The report shows that economic growth has delivered its benefits at best unequally, with a fifth of the world’s population earning just 2% of global income. Even in developed countries, huge gaps remain in wealth and well-being between rich and poor.
The pursuit of growth has also had disastrous environmental consequences. In the last quarter of a century, while the global economy has doubled, the increase in resource consumption has degraded an estimated 60% of the world's ecosystems and led to the threat of catastrophic climate change. "

Kapitalismen som vi känner den är döende. Människan måste börja värderas högre än Maskinen.
