More than Just a Vision?

Abstract

To start with we have to again stress the fact that our large-scale system blocks, which have emerged over a long period of time and have depersonalized our sense of duties and responsibilities, are on the verge of collapse. Not society as a whole, but the ability of its large-scale systems to solve our problems has reached its “Limitations to Growth.” The new technologies are capable of creating decentralized structures with more self-reliance, a wider sphere of responsibility, and improved environmental protection. For this opportunity to become reality, though, we have to be willing and able to make a break. This calls for a policy which no longer wastes its time solving antiquated conflicts with out-dated patterns of order.
