Thomas Friedman - New York Times
Time for change? ... new book claims our happiness will increase once we become less reliant on a consumer-driven society.
As a consumer-driven society breaks down, happiness will prevail, writes Thomas Friedman.
You really do have to wonder whether a few years from now we'll look back at the first decade of the 21st century - when food and energy prices soared, world population surged, tornadoes ploughed through cities, floods and droughts set records, populations were displaced and governments were threatened by the confluence of it all - and ask ourselves: what were we thinking?
How did we not panic when the evidence was so obvious that we'd crossed some growth/climate/natural-resource/population redlines all at once?
