“[After the stock-markets crash] the number one priority will be the provision of adequate food for all the people; two, the provision of adequate housing for all the people; thirdly, the provision of adequate healthcare and education for all the people.

When the economic collapse occurs, humanity will begin to recognize its oneness, and the need to co-operate and share the world’s resources.”

Benjamin Creme (1922–2016) artist, author, esotericist
