Poly, perma, meta, multi, omni… social commentators today like to put a prefix in front of ‘crisis’. Their common idea is that something generically bad is happening in modern societies. Whatever their prefix, using the word ‘crisis’ is misleading, as it suggests the bad things can be overcome. But most of them can’t, as shown by research on the global causes of the global disruptions, chronicled in my book. Today I released a free audio of Chapter 10 on the underlying cause of the destruction, which is the expansionist money system.

One prominent example of this problem is war. The expansionist monetary system means that all arms manufacturers must expand their sales, which is only possible with more war and the threat of war. That’s why in the 30 years since 1991, arms sales increased 40%. That is not because human nature is becoming more violent, but because the military industry influences governments, politics and media.

If we wish for peace, ultimately we will fail while living within an expansionist monetary system. I hope the Chapter will influence some of you towards engaging in alternatives.
