It completes a quartet of astrology books. The first two introduce astrology's workings and its potential to clarify decisions in the modern world. A third, published in 2009, shows that astro-cycles reveal the intrinsic shortcomings of the world economy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e'Reversing the Race to Global Destruction' takes account of what has happened since 2009 against the astro-cycles immediately ahead. Can the present world economic and socio\/political systems manage our affairs, without increasing economic uncertainty, conflict and ultimate collapse?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart one of the book uses astro-cycles to assess and describe the inadequacy of post-2008 attempts to sustain our present world economy. The apparent recovery for some is based on borrowed time that is fast running out. Why do an increasing number of people feel side-lined, many are desperate and hardly able to survive? Does existence have to be no more than a constant aspiration to grow and consume? Has it always been like this? Are the media, political, academic systems and the laws, rules and regulations that support this ever-expanding materialistic society shutting out better workable alternatives?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart Two of the book identifies a Golden Standard based on unshakeable principles of kindness, before all other considerations. It then looks again at how business, media, political, academic, and the practice of law would be enhanced and made more effective if guided uncompromisingly by such standards. This builds to a vision of a world that takes down barriers and people work together for the benefit of everyoneؙ; the very opposite to the way of the world of early 2017.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a seed or contribution to the many movements of healing human relationships that must emerge, if the world is to survive and move on from dark messages of fanaticism, greed and selfishness that threaten our planet and our lives upon it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Gillett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crucial Astro Tools\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780995699915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGillett, Roy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Roy Gillett's horoscope clearly indicates a quest to benefit society and ask challenging questions.
