Social Challenges

Mohamed Rabie ()

Chapter Chapter 10 in Saving Capitalism and Democracy, 2013, pp 171-184 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract America and the world face many serious challenges that require time, money, courage, creativity, and international collaboration. While the public debt, trade imbalances, world poverty, the degradation of the environment, ethnonational conflict, wars, and denial of human rights represent the most obvious challenges of our times, there are other problems of a different nature that limit the abilities of most nations to grow their economies and deal with social challenges at home. In this chapter, I shall limit my discussion to three major issues: interest rates, health care, and cultural aspects related to societal transitions from one civilization to another.
