Change now, or have change come to you…

The old economic certainties – markets generally rising, the dollar as a safe haven, houses a sure investment – are certainties no longer.

The environment is changing, faster than many scientists have feared.

And while children starve in Somalia and teenagers loot in London, the elite drink 900-euro bottles of champagne or send private jets to collect their shoes.

Change is coming, and quickly. The question is, should we work together to craft a new form of society, fairer and more sustainable? Or should we wait for others to impose their chosen system upon us?
