Who are the crisis makers?

Chapter 2 in The Global Crisis Makers, 2000, pp 21-32 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract To understand the real global crisis we need to identify the crisis makers and to discover the secret of their remarkable rise to power. The rise of the crisis makers is a very recent phenomenon, one which must be reversed soon if the future of Western civilisation is to be secured. The fundamental irony of the modern world is that although we have discovered the technological strategy that would have prevented the fall of Rome, that very strategy is changing the sociopolitical structure of our world in a way that is endangering our civilisation. Just when we have discovered the source of eternal progress and liberty, we have delivered our future into the hands of the crisis makers. The most important question of our age is: Will modern civilisation follow Rome into oblivion?
