Global Politics


With the rise of GenX into leadership positions all around the world, it shouldn't be surprising that deconstructionism will be the political position of many of our leaders. Anti-institutionalism will be the wave for the next ten years. Throughout the years of traveling through the nations, it has been puzzling to me how the same themes being raised by our USA politicians are the same as those in England, France, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand. In fact, all you have to do is watch them and you can easily predict what is going to happen in the USA.
Currently, the political choices is not about personalities but rather a choice between Keysian economics and Adam Smith's view of unregulated markets. It is a matter of interpreting theology and biblical economics as to what view we arrive at. The issues are the same for all of us in the west. Global competetion between East and west... costs related to employment and the rise of a knowledge based economy will not ease our tensions nor resolve our current situation easily. All we can do is effectively choose leadership who understand the world and it's future. those who understand that will lead us effectively into the future instead of attempting to take us back to the industrial age.
