Not the first time the people have run out of bread

Let them eat cake has morphed into don`t worry be happy, how far we`ve come.

The old global commerce system of cash and carry has morphed into todays borrow and buy.

The French revolution, the Great Depression and now, have a common thread, a lack of spending ability by the people. The great Depression lacked cash to buy while today lacks the credit to borrow and buy.
Not only has todays consumer over borrowed but global market wealth to the top consumers is evaporating.
It took a tax funded war to pull economies out of the trench in the 30`s so it seems very unreasonable to consider even the Obama $1T stimulus as more than a box of bandaids. Certainly it will slow down decent but unlikely to cause any assent until things turn globally. This is unlikely without WW3 increasing industrial production.

Muhammad Yunus, "We will create a new normalcy which will stay and keep on moving and change the world."

I would hope you try to find flaw in the foregoing then consider what needs to be done to turn the global economy around. Increasing industrial output, putting people back to work while creating new consumers through expanding industries. The current globalism model of expanding industry was based on global consumer consumption, now in retreat. A global maglev would create the demand to restart industry while creating new industry and consumers, on a very long term basis.
What if?
If you`re there try, why not?
