Day 12

Global 2000

Commissioned in 1977 by Jimmy Carter, published in 1980

A true eye-opener for me.

Should have been mandatory in every secondary school curriculum since then.

A very thick well-used grey paperback book with some blue stripes. Above the stripes, the title "Global 2000" "Der Bericht an den Präsidenten" (The report to the president)

Thanks for posting the Global 2000 report commissioned by Jimmy Carter.

Regrettably, the report's impact was limited because Americans turned on President Carter so Ronald Reagan came to power to push the fossil fools' agenda.

It should have been taught in our schools, but also about the Powell Memo which was GOP plan to block climate and progressive policies.

@GreenFire

Unfortunately, Ronald Reagan would become the most consequential US president at least since Eisenhower.

Together with his buddies Margaret "There is no such thing as society" Thatcher and Helmut Kohl, they cemented the neoliberal world order, which is haunting us till today.
