When something has been wrong for a long time — or when books have been out of balance — there eventually comes a day of reckoning. That’s when debits and credits are added up and there’s either a credit or a price to be paid.
In our culture, we have been living on borrowed time for about a hundred years, because we’ve built prosperity on a foundation made of shifting sand. Today, we face the possibility of that system crashing down around us. Most people are scared and they have reason to be.
Who can you trust as we enter this age of reckoning, when all that we’ve known is probably going to be torn down?
Preview of next week’s show: We’re going to continue looking at the coming age of reckoning, starting with the things that have gone wrong and how we can make the best of some days which threaten to be very dark for most people.
