The seismic social forces to create the necessary changes are already apparent.
Global, trustworthy, financial systems will follow from the ENRON
and similarly massive frauds. The Gangster economies will be stopped. Auditors

The OECD is shutting down Tax Havens and Money Laundering
centres - crime will no longer pay. This is a necessary condition
for global fiscal and social security systems. Electronic money
exchanges have created a global currency. Silly legal loop-holes for the

global. All transactions are traceable - if the political will exists.

Major companies are increasingly acknowledging their social role,
publishing Social and Environmental reports on their own behaviour.
