Excellent summary of the situation by Prof. Pettifor. I have long begun to wonder if we cannot hold our governments legally liable for choosing the wrong course in face of definitely available better knowledge and facts. Could it be that THEY just do not understand the facts? Ultimately no lobby group in the world profits from a total meltdown of the system. Important to understand for all of us: the financial/economic system is a mere sub-set of the geo-biosphere, which it eats from within.
