As we know, the voting and polling so far show that we want a new narrative and we want change. But where is the new narrative? And change to what, at how much pain?

How about a new narrative that incorporates thermodynamics into accepted economic theory; that addresses the demand side as rigorously as the supply side; rejects growth as the dominant goal of our society — too much entropy; rejects corporatism in favor of re-localized capitalism; that recognizes that there are limits with consequences and thus the question of the distribution of wealth becomes a conversation about morals and ethics; promotes Rawlsian Justice as Fairness?

I could go for that.

Speaking of change with pain, looks like the world stock markets are about to smack us hard up side the head – and but hard. May knock us senseless. Lots of pain tomorrow.
