    lets look at some of the indicators

    we learn from history that education, technology and the economy have in the past and continue to change the economy, and consequently the global community.

    eg the industrial revolution in the 1700s changed the way we produced things and how information is spread. and according to moors laws integrated circuits such as processors double in power every 2 years and become cheaper to produce. Moors law also indicates that we are reaching an exponential. this means we may be in the birthing process of developing and using technology of the 21st century eg. zero point energy including solar and geothermal energy as alternatives to crude oil which is losing popularity especially since the BP oil spill in april 2010. This would also mean the end of oil as a motive for war and the loss of power for oil companies.

    The recent interest in Asia including China and India has also contributed towards the shift of global influence which is bound to affect the economy.

    it s my belief that the recent economic climate including the bank scandals in the U.S. and UK in 2009 has made people more money conscious and curious as to how money is created and distributed. Consequently movements such as the Zeitgeist are becoming popular as they propose modern methods of adapting to the 21st century such as using solar energy and the likes. however cooperation within the global community is needed for such systems to work.

    No, we are on the tipping point of bankruptcy. If we don't get this nut out of the Oval Office, we will be following Greece as the IMF bails us out and then makes all decisions for America. Obama wants to implode our economy, because he knows he cannot replace the system unless our present system is deemed a failure. Obama is helping this destruction along every day. We are in big trouble, and all of it is directly the result of people voting in a man who they never vetted, hell, never even questioned. The White HOuse is surrounded by 1960's radical revolutionaries who now wear ties and a suit but who are exactly what they used to be.

    SOME OF US ARE TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK, so far we are approximately 52 million strong.

    I don't think so. At least not that soon. We might be on the upsloap, but not yet ready to arrive at the tipping point. I think we are actually beginning to create new legislation to prevent the challenges to our economy we are now experiencing. We got very close this time last year, but it looks like we won't go over the top and begin the long fall down this time.

    no, but we will see more economic regulation in the future.

    Revolutions is something started by masses, not by government.

    And you never know an economic revolution until after it happened. There are plenty of new technologies and business models introduced every year, but most of them fail, and you never know which one will catch on.

    Lol, I doubt it, unless the entire world becomes a socialist commune like the Amish have. It's looking like our current economic systems are definitely here to stay for a long, long time. Who knows, maybe feudalism will make a comeback.

    We may be at a tipping point.

    We must decide between

    - capitalism and the free market

    or

    - communism/socialism
