From now on Prophets of Boom will be based on the search for ways to climb out of the current economic de-stabilization. We will be asking whether the Conversation of a Generation is beginning to take shape. Is there anything happening out there to give us hope that the most innovative and productive society in history can work its way out of its slump? How are people proposing to do things differently?
This will not just be a critique of capitalism run amok. Rather, it will be an exploration of ways to shape our collective experience for the common good. Did Occupy Wall Street really signal the start of something big? Does Canada's political turnaround offer reasons for hope? Or are we programmed to sleepwalk into a new Dark Ages? Along the way, readers will be urged to share solutions. We will … and we will post our findings as they emerge.
Conversation of a Generation
Over-hyped expectations are leading North Americans to a wholesale loss of individual and collective sovereignty. Our slavery to crony capitalism is out of control. Climate change threatens the planet. Where we're going will be the central conversation for at least a generation. Will the answers rest only with charismatic leadership? Or is it up to us all to regain control of our lives. How are we going to do that?

David Walker has given up on politicians; he is taking his message directly to the people and to opinion-leaders. That's because politicians are trapped in a closed system of short-term thinking. We the people are going to have to sort our way out of this situation. What is your solution?
