The Prosperous Way Down

Many assume that the only way down is to crash and restart. But many systems program orderly descent and decession that is followed later by growth and succession again.

The following are changes that accompany descent. Either we adapt with deliberate process or have these changes forced on us with damaging repercussions. Although we can’t predict how societies will react, we can use quantitative resource evaluations to characterize what is possible. For each of these changes, some suggestions are made that could make descent less traumatic and more prosperous. Many of the changes are in progress.
