Moving From A Fossilized Economy To A Solar Economy - Dr Hermann Scheer

The modern economic age is shaped by a rapid succession of scientific and technological breakthroughs which are transforming individual and collective ways of life and economic and political structures. They exceed physical, geographical, intellectual and ethical limits (especially nuclear weapons and genetic engineering). They also exceed the limits of those time periods over which we are able to act responsibly. And yet this constantly accelerating and far-reaching modernity is a fossil construct. Measured against its claim to shape our future, it is stuck in the past, fossilized at its core, based on excavations and ancient deposits—in reality, without a future.
