Recession or windows for new opportunities

I remember back in Karlskrona –Sweden while attending the master we had a deep discussion about how come there are so many already proven technologies, clean technologies, green procedures, etc and so disperse and never the less not implemented but in a few envisioned countries and corporations, and then we started to talk about many social and economic theories but ad the end we all concurred that the there must be a drastic shift in what rules our current way of life, most of our occidental way of life is ruled by neoliberal and an economic system based on consumism and non renewal energies.

As I rememberd the basic of policy making and that human behaviors will change and adapt if the conditions are given, change will ocurr in a faster time than we suspect, as the book “The New Economy of Nature , The quest to make Conservation Profitable” by Gretchen C.Daily and Katherine Ellison” : “just as there are threshold in ecosystem ,there are threshold in human behavior, times when cultural evolution moves unexpectedly rapidly. We saw that in dramatic progress in racial justice in the 1960s,the surprise decline of American birthrates in the 70s and the utterly unexpected fall of the Berlin wall and dissolution of the soviet union in the early 1990.

When the time is ripe, society can be transformed virtually overnight”. I am totally positive about this change that is happening now, in fact is GREAT!!,, we need it as society, we need it to reshape the whole thing and the fact that is taking place in the ;leader of our global economic current system the United States with a person that per se is a change for himself, I think that is not just healthy but really necessary, for this new process that we must face as society if we want to prevail in this planet
