On Ushering in the Next Renaissance

India/China and Africa need to partner to usher in the next renaissance.

This one will be far more impressive and exciting than the last one some 500 years ago.

Because:

1. Technology advances have  made dissemination of practice shifts almost  instantaneous globally ( a truth now - not even maybe 3years back)

2. C/I/A account for close to 40-50% of global population whereas Renaissance Europe only accounted for much less and dealt with advances that weren't too impressive to India/China /Muslim Middle East as well as parts of Africa!

3. The world (especially the developing & third world countries) is unhappy with the existing status quo of growing inequity and rising Gini indices in country after country globally - from 1st world to 3rd world without exception!

4. Bretton Woods and subsequent interest based financial system is a huge ecological and economic disaster waiting to destabilize the world- and there are far better alternative models for growth that have been practiced for social and economic benefit of societies- alternatives that are still relevant and superior but are pushed away from mainstream discussions due to the clout of certain vested interests!!?
