Answering this question opens the door to a much larger discussion by this former economic hit man about the many mistakes the United States is making around the world – mistakes that play into the hands of China. As a former chief economist at a Boston-based consulting firm, John once
promoted the degenerative Death Economy that is currently consuming and polluting itself toward extinction. He will discuss the tactics he and others used (in the US and China), the importance of now
transitioning to a regenerative Life Economy, and the role each of us as individuals can play in facilitating the change.
