Comment (in short): Extremely Resourceful

XCERPTS  (selected, for ready reading)

< "It's time to talk about what's next."

< "It is time for Americans to think boldly about ... what it will take to move our country to a very different place, one where outcomes that are truly sustainable, equitable, and democratic are commonplace."
< Those are the words of academic and author Gar Alperovitz, founder of the Democracy Collaborative, who—alongside veteran environmentalist Gus Speth—this week launched a new initiative called the "Next Systems Project" which seeks to address the interrelated threats of financial inequality, planetary climate disruption, and money-saturated democracies by advocating for deep, heretofore radical transformations of the current systems that govern the world's economies, energy systems, and political institutions.>


Even on the first blush, anyone ‘right minded’, endowed with a truly ‘rational’ , -coupled with national ,- perspective, that is, in essence with an altruistic  outlook on profound ‘humanism’ , cannot fail to readily appreciate, without offending self-conscience, apart  from offending others’ as well, and be truly inspired to try and  instantly venture to embark on a devout ‘introspection’. As perceived, that certainly carries a timely message, to listen to and give some serious thoughts, to the end of marching the nation (not only America, but every other country across the globe, inclusive of India) having basically a democratic set-up and left with the ingrained belief that , that is the only way , if at all, to survive and live in peace with self, and let also the rest do so.
