The rise and fall of an empire? Is the United States headed for its end as economic leader of the world? Are we truly in the midst of history in the making? Did 9/11 really help push the USA and ultimately the white mans over the edge towards the bottom of the food chain, or will it only level the playing field?
With the current global economical situation has the stage been set for countries who lie at the bottom of the economic food chain to rise so the could now equal or pass the USA and other economically powerful nations? With companies in Africa and the Diaspora like Pamoja Media, Ushahidi, Frontline SMS, Afrigator Internet (Pty) Ltd and others on the rise will we see a change in the balance of power?
Will the many small countries planet wide, including the West Indies & Virgin Isles do better because they can survive by living off of the land and what they grow & produce at home? They would fair better trading with each other. Thier economies could grow under the current conditions if thier governments took full advantage and stayed away from corruption.
Could we soon see the end of money as we know it? Could our very own survival depend on us eliminating monetary value and switching to a Utopian Socialist system whereby we all work in order to benefit humankind as a collective?
These are just some thoughts of mine as I ponder the current global events. Has the Empire Struck Out? What do you think?
