Harry, I mostly agree, The general topic is 'power structure research'. Fascinating.
Domhoff et al in the US, Krysmansky in Germany. The possible breakup of this structure fascinates a lot of people, including myself. Could we heal the environment, before the Utopians and Greedy use LENR as a tool to leave the solar system, because they destroyed everything livable over here? I am very much down to earth, wrt that. Heal the base first.

The Precariat: The new dangerous class http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jJt-5i_dls Labour economist Professor Guy Standing identifies one of the alarming impacts of globalisation on the labour market; the rise of a new class of insecure workers - the precariat. He calls for governments world-wide to address the inequalities this new class suffer from, as we can't sustain what is happening without major threats along the way. He is an economist and has studied the effect of trade liberalisation on labour over the last 30 years and advocates a basic income for everyone. He uses the marxian concepts of a class for itself and a class in the making, and identifies the precariat as a class in the making. He answers five questions that structure his book: 1) What is the precariat? 2) Why care about it? 3) Why is it growing? 4) Who is in the precariat? 5) and where is it taking us as society? He breaks society down into 5 classes. at the top are the super rich 1. elite (super rich). 2. salariat 3. working class 4. precariat 5. underclass Harry
