Thanks for your perspective regarding the transition from globalization back to regional. I’ve advocated this for years as you’ve stated, the system is far too complex. A book can be written on this subject alone. I would like to add another dimension to this complex issue and that is the shift from a dollar based economy to a resource based system at the same time as the shift that you’re advocating. It doesn’t take much of an imagination to recognize the future and the challenges that faces us today and as this reset unfolds.

I appreciate this perspective, and want to add that missing from your list of essential ingredients for recent history is immense quantities of storable, transportable energy from fossil fuels, along with other non-renewable (at least on human timescales) material inputs.
