The world did survive the Depression, as hard as it was, without anarchy. If people in Zimbabwe and North Korea still haven't risen, if people by the millions subsist in slums for decades in India, if WW1 and WW2 didn't rip apart civilization, and if decades of apartheid didn't lead to a violent revolution but a relatively democratic one, I do not think we're heading down the anarchy path so easily, even at DOW 2000. The markets are just as swayed by emotion as they are actual balance sheets. It will get harder for everyone but it won't fall apart that easily and that completely. Even during revolutions we have maintained society. The one power we have proven to have as a species is the one where we maintain some kind of civilization regardless of the circumstance. So protecting your family makes sense, hedging your bets makes sense, but let's not get caught up in apocalyptic ideas.Milindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461602652950494332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837682047923877072.post-38515740356556808172009-03-06T10:12:00.000-05:002009-03-06T10:12:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957411276173112592noreply@blogger.com
