In March 1981 the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) published the results of a global energy study looking fifty years into the future: Energy in a Finite World: A Global Systems Analysis (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Ballinger Publishing Co., 1981)*. Not surprisingly, this book raises almost as many questions as it answers; thus, it defines a broad range of research topics that might be taken up by IIASA or other research institutions around the world. A 25-27 May 1981 workshop at IIASA entitled "A Perspective on Adaptive Nuclear Energy Evolutions: Towards a World of Neutron Abundance" was a beginning on one of these topics; it was organized by Wolf Hafele (Kernforschungsanlage Ji. ilich, Jiilich, Federal Republic of Germany, and IIASA) and Arkadius Archie Harms (McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada). The origin of this workshop was the effort with in the IIASA energy study to explore possible "sustainable" global energy systems that might eventually replace the current "consumptive" system. In investigating the possible contributions nuclear technologies might make to a sustainable energy system, it had become clear that it is not so much particular, distinct technologies within the nuclear family that should be examined as a question of particularly advantageous configurations of mutually complementary technologies. Only when one considers exploiting a whole spectrum of arrangements of fission breeders, fusion reactors, and accelerators does the true potential of nuclear power become apparent."

Unsere Geseltschaft verbraucht in vielfaltiger Weise Energie. Nicht nur unser Komfort, sondern auch viele notwendigen Fortschritte im sozialen Bereich sind mit diesem Energieverbrauch verknt pft und damit auf eine ausreichende Energieversorgung angewiesen. Die Einfuhrung einer neuen Technologie ist jedoch in der Vergangenheit selten in der (jffentlichkeit mit derart gegensatzlichen Meinungen diskutiert worden wie heute die Kernenergie. Entscheidungen uber neue Technologien sind aber auch politische Entscheidungen und konnen auf vielfache Weise unser alter Leben beeinflussen. Daher begruftcents ich die offentliche Diskus$ion uber solche Entscheidungen, denn sie ist gerade in einer lebendigen Demo kratie notwendig. In Anbetracht der Bedeutung von richtiger und emotionsfreier Information der (jffentlichkeit uber aile Aspekte der Kernenergie solt sowohl Befur wortern als auch Gegnern breiter Raum zur Stellungnahme gewahrt wer den. Es ist mir aber auch ein wesentliches Anliegen, daft die Diskussion nicht in polemischer Weise, sondern in nuchterner Argumentation gefuhrt wird. Die in dieser Broschure enthaltenen Beitrage wurden von Befurwortern und Gegnern der Kernenergie verfaftt und mogen als Beitrage zur grofteren Information sowie als Basis fur eine sachliche Diskussion uber dieses Thema gewertet werden. 5 Die osterreichische undesregierung wird in der Frat, e der .A.tomkraftwerke allen Seiten Gelegenheit geben, ihre Standpunkte offentlich darzulegen. In weiterer Ausfuhrung der Regierungserklarung vom 5. November 1975 wurde ein interministerielles Komitee mit der Vorbereitung einer breit angelegten Aufklarungskampagne iiber Fragen der friedlichen Nutzung der Kernenergie beauftragt und noch im Herbst 1976 wird eine Serie von offentlichen Veranstaltungen und Diskussionen beginnen."

The Inevitable GREAT AMERICAN RESET - Riding the Economic Rollercoaster of Capitalism (Paperback): Carl W. Hafele Cfa Cpa The Inevitable GREAT AMERICAN RESET - Riding the Economic Rollercoaster of Capitalism (Paperback)

Financial crashes are a necessary part of capitalism, as the market occasionally needs to "reset" itself. Some crashes are relatively minor and short-lived. Others, like the Wall Street Crash of 1929, are devastating, depression-triggering events. Many, like the Great Recession that commenced in 2007, are worsened by improper economic policies.

Professor of economics and money manager Carl Hafele warns readers that, unless U.S. economic policy changes, and changes soon, the nation is heading for a cataclysmic financial crash on a scope not seen since 1929. Using historical market crashes as examples, Hafele proves that sound economic policies lessen the frequency and severity of financial crises, and explains how our current economic path and policies are both unsustainable and alarming.

Hafele's warning has significant implications for investors looking to weather the next market reset. Perhaps more ominously, he demonstrates current Keynesian economic policies threaten more than the nation's prosperity by undercutting democracy itself.

Thought-provoking and often chilling in its implications, "The Inevitable Great American Reset" also offers hope. We can minimize the impact of the next financial crash-if we act decisively and quickly.
