This chapter highlights some of the many reasons why present world order lifestyles must, and can, be changed.
We are informed that climate change, which is getting progressively worse, cannot be stopped. Although reducing carbon emissions and a conversion to alternative energy sources are important lifestyle changes to adopt, they will contribute little to ensuring sustained survival of humanity on the planet. Our survival is only possible if we make radical and necessary changes to our monetary systems, as well as to political and religious philosophies.
We must create a global culture of tolerance and co-operation for the children of tomorrow to build upon.

Pg 2. "As money continues depreciating in real value, many of the rich will see their carefully accumulated assets sucked into the black hole of negative equity.
The poor, the homeless and the world’s starving millions, who have been desperately reliant upon grants and aid to ease their plight, will suffer when grants dry up because of money losing its value and availability."
Pg 3. "The pursuit of infinite economic growth is an extremely dangerous philosophy. Infinite means never ending. The only way to achieve never ending economic growth would be to keep printing never ending supplies of worthless fiat money to meet the never ending rewards that never ending growth demands. If the world remains on that course it will lead to inevitable self-destruction."
Pg 4. "As global recession bites deeper into economies around the world, examples of corruption and obscene

financial rewards for managerial failure have been surfacing everywhere.The deep-seated inherent flaws of the world’s monetary system are also becoming apparent.
Money no longer has the dependable value that people need in their lives, and it is only a matter of time before economies start collapsing completely."

Pg 5. "In one way or another, money, politics, religion and national sovereignty are the common denominators found in all forms of global, community and domestic problems around the world."

"Mankind will gradually become compelled to adapt to the consequences of climate change, and to accept the need to adopt some radically new and untested lifestyle changes in the process."
