 Industrial agriculture is going to run out of oil. Pensions, health care and transport are going to run out of oil. Eventually even "local" will have to become sustainable. The sooner this is admitted to the sheeple by their governments the sooner society can rearrange itself. 
Globalization and the freedom to move capital around in pursuit of cheap labour and subsidised development has obviously not fixed poverty. The rich have got richer and when their cups have over flowed they got bigger cups.
