..change will require a bigger crisis. And given that change from our unsustainable system is inevitable, a bigger crisis WILL happen. The only question is whether it happens before 2010, 2012 or later.
I doubt bigger crisis will change anything (for better). History is full of examples imperiums turning into serfdom without popular uprising. Only foreign invader has been able change things of a bankrupt country. People just think that is a natural way things go (at least as long as they themselves "survive"). There is no political movement addressing the basic problem: banks creating money -> inflating property prices -> sellers getting fortunes -> leaving population in debt -> destroying "wealth creation."
..destroying "wealth creation" because economic rent grows relative to "value" (production).
