<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><a href="http://paulgilding.com/">Paul Gilding</a> (writer, advisor and advocate for action on climate change and sustainability) writes in his blog, &#8220;The Cockatoo Chronicles&#8221; the following&#8230;&#8221;I believe humanity has entered a period of great economic and social transformation, what I call the Great Disruption. The global economy has now hit its ecological and resource limits so it can grow no more, triggering the global ecological and economic crisis now unfolding as the current system breaks down. The exciting thing about this moment is that the crisis presents an historic and exciting opportunity to build a new approach to economic and social development for humanity.&#8221; You can hear him speak at an ABC forum here: <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/rn/backgroundbriefing/">Background Briefing: The Great Disruption</a>.</p>
