Some fifty years ago the world was thrown into the abyss with mass destruction of population centers. What really triggered the degredation of the human condition in Europe and to a lesser extent Asia? Was it a power grab by individuals? If so, what opened the door for these individuals to assume absolute power?
I propose that the only way individuals receive absolute power is when an economic vacuum occurs in a society. The Versailles Peace Conference opened the door for the instability in Europe and the rise of Hitler. Are we seeing something similar today, the early stage of the rise to power of individuals based on economic weakness? What are your thoughts? Are we seeing some of this in Russia? The United States? Latin America? Africa? The Middle East?
