The UK has voted for Brexit. The future of the European Union awaits as France, Germany and the Netherlands head into major elections during 2017. President Trump is in a war of words with Mexico and is proceeding with plans to build a wall on the US southern border. One of the reasons why globalization has stalled is because it requires direct and indirect subsi- dization by government financing via sovereign and municipal debt. However, with the debt growth model coming to a close, this subsidy is shrinking. The pressure is on to focus on what is economically productive rather than to centralize for political objectives or for the economic gain of private investors and corporations. What does such a world look like? No one knows. In our four scenarios this year (See: Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready), we focus on a very wide range of future possibilities. This year is not just going to “slow burn.” Elections mean new poli- cies. Budgets are going to change – governments face increased reengineering and privatization. Pension funds can no longer kick the can – some benefits will be cut. Liabilities that cannot be funded face financial “controlled demolitions.” Trade has slowed and trade wars are a possibility. At the root of the economic possibilities is a much more important question: will we choose to be a human society or an inhuman society? This raises questions as to why one half the world is struggling with a hunger problem while the other half struggles with obesity and waste. As I review the four Get Ready scenarios, I am in- spired to think about the basics, including food, For a larger version of this map, please visit: http://www.fao.org/economic/ess
