History’s Lessons, Ignored

If anyone follows the modern history (say for the last 100 years) like I do, it’s full of examples of various nations / economies happily ignoring a series of prior disasters, until much worse disasters happen. This has happened in the following cases:

  • World War I (WW-1)
  • The Great Depression (1929-1939)
  • WW-II
  • The Oil Crisis of the 1970s
  • The Financial Crisis of 2007-2008
  • The COVID-19 Pandemic

Now we are on track to repeat the above events on perhaps an even larger scale with the looming climate crisis.
