The world in the first decades of the 21st century faces many unique, unprecedented and quite daunting challenges. This book proposes deep and profound changes to economics, politics, government, laws, banking, business, international relations, the press, and societies.This book is very different to other books. It examines: a) What are the problems and what are their causes ? What constitutes causality ? and what are the causal factors involved ? How do we deconstruct causality and the causal factors behind this disorder and chaos ? what are the dynamics, the driving factors, the hidden forces and the relationships ? b)What are the solutions based on causality, the causal factors behind these problems ? what constitutes rights and the responsibilities attached to rights ? and how are these rights and responsibilities linked to causality, and to the problems, disorder and chaos confronting countries and the world ? how do we apply responsibilities and the lessons of causality to create new more effective solutions. This will involve very new and innovative solutions which address the root causes of problems, and include: - Economic Democracy and much wider wealth and income distribution as a means to democratise real power and democratise capitalism
