The global financial crisis can activate popular emotion. Fear and hopelessness for the private situation and envy against those "up there" who live a life in leisure and abundance can spark unrest.
So what will happen, what should happen?
The last months we have looked for a head solution - a rational way to act. Very good. The financial unrest is diminishing, even if the recovery of trust is slower than the destruction of trust.
But a new situation is established. We can not just return to business as before.
Hopefully we see the start of a new era of slower material growth and increased cultural growth - instead of using up limited natural resources we can use them in a smarter way.
So we need heart solutions - improvement where it is needed, and relaxation in the overheated sectors.
The possibilities are great. The old times (up to September 2008, if you can remember that long back) when human beings were production factors firstly were not that nice and good. More time for human creativity and development is not a bad prospect.
