The economic crisis is not over and politicians seem powerless in the face of the volatility of markets, technology, new media and increesing awarness of the youth arround the world for the planet. Alarmist scenarios about climate, pollution, species loss and scarce resources are multiplying. Everything is happening so fast that it is impossible to organize the future. Our society seems doomed to risk and uncertainty.
