What kind of value system keeps our thinking buoyant? If we sink into a recession like an economic depression what can we focus our hopes and dreams into? It seems like our value system is suffering some kind of terminal decline and everything associated with it is oxidising or something, there are serious implications that could come with this, for without the prospect of becoming affluent, the value system could really go into decline as belief in it sinks with expectation. Capital aquisition is a motivating force what will take its place? Maybe there could be a renaissance in artistic values, philosophical debate and the like but it could only happen if people started to take seriously the idea that positive change can come from positive endeadour or something like this.
