27
- 29. THE
FINANCIAL
CONTEXT
The
disaster
of
2007/2008
nearly
ruined
the
global
economic
system
– By
Oct.
2008,
about
$25
trillion
were
obliterated
from
the
value
of
stock
markets
What
started
with
an
ini:al
liquidity
crisis
lead
to
– The
disrup:on
of
capital
flows
– The
collapse
of
the
“too
big
to
fail”
financial
organiza:ons
incl.
Lehman
Bros.,
Fannie
Mae,
and
Freddy
Mac
– Severe
downturns
in
the
global
casino/stock
markets
world
wide
– Currency
crunches,
failure
of
major
businesses
,
global
recession
including
the
European
sovereign-‐
debt
crisis
(Ireland,
Portugal,
Greece,
Spain,
Cyprus,
etc.)
– LIBOR,
Madoff
scandals
– No
end
in
sight!
Q:
How
sustainable
are
our
financial
and

systems?

28
- 30. THE
SOCIAL
CONTEXT
Real

bubble
bursts,
foreclosures,
evic:ons
(USA,
Spain,
Ireland,
etc.)
Prolonged
unemployment
in
most
Western
countries
– 7.6%
USA,
12%
in
Europe
on
average
Increased
inequality
in
the
West
– USA
with
the
“most
millionaire
households”
in
the
world
followed
by
Japan,
China,
UK,
and
Germany
Growing
health
problems
physically,
mentally,
emo:onally
– Cancer,
overweight,
obesity,
depression,
asthma
Social
unrests:
– Occupy
movement,
Spanish
Indignados,
Greek

protests

ENVIRONMENTAL
CONTEXT
We
con:nue
to
emit
twice
as
much
CO2
in
the
atmosphere
than
can
be
absorbed
by
our
forests
and
oceans
with
disastrous
consequences
for
the
earth’s
ecological
balance:
– Global
warming
at
accelerated
speed
can
lead
up
to
2-‐4
degrees
Celsius
in
this
century
– Ongoing
droughts
Water
is
becoming
more
important
than
petrol
– Ongoing
hurricanes,
floods,
rapid
mel:ng
of
polar
ice
caps
lead
to
the
raise
of
ocean
levels
– Irrecoverable
loss
of

LACK
OF

REGARDING
THE
IMPORTANCE
OF
EXPONENTIAL
GROWTH
With
every
duplica:on,
the
quan:ty
added
is
LARGER
than
the
en:re

quan:ty
The
megatrends
in

are:
– Exponen:al

– Exponen:al
economic
growth
– Exponen:al
consumer
growth:
During
the
last

EXAMPLES
OF

Food
produc:on
and
water
usage
– We
already
have
an
acute
water
shortage
and
not
enough
agricultural
fields
for
food
produc:on
– The
need
for
food
and
potable
water
is
growing
at
2.5
%
p.a.,
which
will
double
in
28
years
from
now
Ø This
means
that
in
28
years
from
now
humanity
will
need
more
water
and
food
than
in
its
en:re
previous
history
Ø By
2035
we
will
need
another
Earth
if
no
significant
