Recent decades have seen some of the most extraordinary prosperity in all of human history, and we have come to view this as the norm. — But what if instability returned? — And what can we do to prevent that from happening? — In The Future in Plai... more », author Eugene Linden lays out the nine factors that are symptomatic of instability in today's world. They include overpopulation, the widening gap between rich and poor, the resurgence of infectious disease, and the effects of a changing global climate.
