Heard Friday, an interesting interview of Greenspan, former head of the federal bank, he got an interesting point about the choice facing our societies: "more material well being or more tranquility, we can't have both as current data suggests".
For him, instability ( economic bubbles) are rooted within our economic system, and therefore are part of its growth. In other words, people can't keep being richer and at the same time achieve piece of mind, as the instability of the capital create growth and unease.
I tend to agree on part of his analysis, and here the question, what do we really want: more cars/ipod/flat screen or more happiness ?
