Faced with these procrastination, which citizens and companies should they hang on? How to project yourself and make choices that engage in the long term? Until now, the reward – which exists, all the same – is distant, diluted in the future of children which we claim to preserve. Because particular interests, diplomacy of soy, cotton or oil weigh heavier than air, more and more irrespirable. Being competitive is essential, but the essential changes, wider and more fundamental, are scary. They are expensive. They ask to review our lifestyles in depth, in particular more prosperous countries. And then, the electoral time does not tolerate neither patience nor horizon.
But this wall was just a threshold. Behind, it’s the abyss. And to avoid it, words or half-laws are no longer enough. We need an spirits revolution.
While the worst can still be avoided, our children will be right to blame us if nothing is done. The general interest must cease to be a hollow formula and become the engine of political actions which are not limited to flatter certain categories of voters. Otherwise history will notify us not the error, but abandonment.
