The great disruption

[Luis Fok]

A frightening new historical era that began in 2008 with the crash of world economies and the simultaneous collapse of trust in governing institutions. 2. A [wrenching] [shift in] human society resulting from 50 years of [unsustainable] development, over-population, environmental degredation, economic injustice and rapid resource depletion. 3. The growing realization that sophisticated financial engineering cannot solve the growing list of real-world problems.
