Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
Quote:“If globalization were a sport, it would be the 100-yard dash, over and over and over. And no matter how many times you win, you have to race again the next day. And if you lose by just a hundredth of a second it can be as if you lost by an hour. Globalization means the spread of free-market capitalism to virtually every country in the world. America has had 200 years to invent, regenerate and calibrate the balances that keep markets free without their becoming monsters. We have the tools to make a difference. We have an interest in making a difference. And we have the responsibility to make a difference. Sustaining globalization is our overarching national interest.” https://www.nytimes.com/1999/03/28/magazine/a-manifesto-for-the-fast-world.html https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/99/04/25/reviews/friedman-mag.html
