Then your point about liberal democracy being on a winning streak, sorry but that’s not the reality. The further accumulation of wealth is exactly what is unsustainable. That’s for rich Western countries only. Our way of life is not sustainable. As of now we already know or have an idea what it will cost to mitigate the worst effects of climate change and it looks bleak. Your first paragraph is totally negated by your second. We have increased technology increased convienence.Ĭlimate change is probably the biggest threat and it will really harm some countries like Bangleddesh, but most of the world should be able to mitigate the effects and still keep a reasonably high standard of living.Īs for the much vaunted decline of democracy people you don't like getting elected is not a decline in democracy. Liberal values reign supreme granted not in every country but if a government falls it's usually a liberal one which replaces it, and you don't have a competeing illiberal ideology like Marxism-leninism during the Cold War. People are living longer lives, and we are starting to reach the culmination of the rights movement of the 60s. In past few decades numerous countries have lifted themselves out of grinding poverty. Yes absolutely, the world is becoming more proserpous than it has ever been.
