“Today's converging energy, environmental, and
political-economic stresses could cause a breakdown of national and
global order. Yet there are things we can do now to keep such a
breakdown from being catastrophic. And some kinds of breakdown could
even open up extraordinary opportunities for creative, bold reform of
our societies, if we're prepared to exploit these opportunities when
they arise.”
