  • As someone born in the late 60s, I also feel like the 90s were a period of great optimism for social, economic, and political change for the better. The fall of the Soviet Union gave us the promise of stepping back from the edge of nuclear annihilation and the world felt like it was generally getting better. The super powers were ending their proxy wars in many countries and it seemed like peace and prosperity were on the horizon.

    The world.changed for the worst in the early 2000a with the 9-11 attacks prompting decades of war in the middle.east. The costs.of those wars affected most of the world negatively and brought about the rise of the super rich oligarchy we see in many countries today.

    I honestly do not see us returning to a period where the bulk of the world’s population has a positive future ahead of them.
