The impending disaster that awaits: The Control and Allocation of Resources.
The way these are handled is vital. It will determine more than the future direction of the Global Economy. It will determine whether or not there is one.
What to Expect in the Future--If there is one?
http://slimviews.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-to-expect-in-future-if-there-is.html
To the EuroCrats, The G 20, et. al.
The OWS (Occupy Wall Street) Movement
The Greek Riots. (Yes, riots!)
The Arab Spring. (You call it the Arab Spring; I call it the Path of the Trajectory.)
The Future: What About the Path of the Trajectory?
As we plan into the future, are we considering the path of the trajectory?
Case in point. The pendulum swings both ways. The farther it swings one way, the farther it swings back.
Globalisation: Will the path of globalisation eventually lead to a path of isolationism?
Information: Will the information that we are relying upon so heavily, eventually become a curse that will lead people to retrench? An information overload can make the information virtually worthless if too much information cannot be accepted as reliable?
Technology: Will the technology that enhances our efforts become so "intrusive" that we are paralysed by its intrusiveness?
Politics: Will the politics of globalisation lead to "Superpower Centers" with a detente between e.g: The Asian Center, The African Center, The Middle Eastern Center, The European Center, The Latin American Center, the North American Center?

The Resources
Food

Technology
Information
Validation
Different Global Regions and Spheres of Influence have or will have varying degrees of Control and Methods and means of Allocation. Understanding this is Crucial.
Spheres
Asia
America
Africa
Europe
Latin America
The issue is more than a question of Supply and Demand. Trust me. On the matter of resources you have:
The Quantity
The Quality
These will be interjected between the Supply and the Demand: Between Control and Allocation.
Unfortunately, if these are not pressing issues now, they will be when it is too late to do anything about it. However, Pollyanna said I should give it the Old College Try.
As the G 20 prepares to meet, they will be seeking propter hoc solutions to the pressing issues dujour:
The Increasing EuroDebt
The Declining EuroZone Economy
The Declining Global Economy
Micro and Macro Economics
Monetary and Fiscal Policies
Investment and Banking Strategies.

Over the past several months, I've been blogging on the problems and the solutions of the EuroCrisis and the Greek Debt Crisis. I thought, for a moment, I might have made some progress enlightening the EuroCrats"
What did you do?
Did it work?
No?
Don't do that!
Still, after two years of continuous and continual failures, the EuroCrats are still clutching retentively to their ideologies, even as the world around them is changing. Oops! It did it again.
There are more than enough monographs posted on the matter.
The optimistic one was "EuroCrats Take Slim's Advice!
http://slimviews.blogspot.com/2011/10/eurocrats-take-slims-advice.html
I thought, Finally, the EuroCrats will be addressing Economic Development:
If you can believe Wolfgang Schäuble, and it is in my best interest to do so, the EuroCrats will focus on ways to Promote Economic Growth. This is something heretofore not addressed. This is what I have been pressing to no avail--up till now.
As the EuroCrats plan to attend their meeting in Brussels, and the G 20 Leaders plan to attend theirs in Cannes, I can safely say that there is little indication that anything substantive will be accomplished. Certainly not when Prominent Individuals are discussing empowerment, momentum and excitement. (Empowerment? This is the EuroUnion, not a Nursery School.)
And Tim Geithner's remark,
"When France and Germany agree on a plan, big things are possible."
That, I described as "just silly". It seems to be an updated version of the old Cold War joke: Boris Badenov's, "Plotting big trouble for Moose and Squirrel."
The EuroCrats have pursued a course that is both ineffective and ineffectual. They refuse to see what is happening let alone what is going to happen.
"That you cannot predict the future is not a proper rebuff to the person who tells you to get off the track--the train is coming." -- Slim Fairivew
I apologise for the "commercial" reference to Starbucks. However, it was and is necessary. Both the reference and the coffee. You EuroCrats and other World Leaders definitely need to wake up.
Bon chance.
Sincerest regards,
