We are seeing the consequences of over use of resources , exuberant enlightened self interest coupled with amoral ethical regimes. Place this with short sighted economic planning(the quarterly system) and we have the mess we are in now.
Cheap energy has resulted in excessive food production , which has resulted in excessive population growth(population will follow the food curve) and it has to a point we can no longer expand food production to the point of supporting population levels let alone population growth. Too many people not enough resources equates to increased civil unrest from decreased economic opportunity , too many people and not enough resources leads to increase in food prices this leads to malnutrition and more civil unrest . Add to this a rapacious economic system whose regulations are set up and maintained by the very people who benefit from the said system .
One does not have to call for revolution nor predict collapse it is self evident that it will happen as the various lobbying interests of industry and finance continue to influence legislation where there interests take preeminence over the common good and this will lead to civil unrest and food shortages (exacerbated by speculation, again enhanced by political manipulation by lobbyists) .
It is ironic that the conservative element of our country which boasts about their moral high ground are funded by the amoral corporate system.
