The wondrous machine of global revolution is oscillating out of control,
widening the arcs of social and economic instabilities in its wake. The
destructive pressures building up within the global system are leading
toward an unbearable chaos, even without a dramatic collapse, will likely
provoke the harsh, reactionary politics that can shut down the system. 
This outcome is avoidable if nations will put aside theory and confront
what is actually occurring, if they have the courage to impose remedial
changes before it is too late.
