    The current 'world order' is personal profit driven. We see poor policies that make the right people money while not being the best moves for society. This will continue sadly.
    Until we get Star Trek replicators, this ain't changing.
    When oil begins to lose value, we'll see a change, but unless we move towards replacing it on a global level, that will only happen when it runs out.
    Except, fundamental and basic economics tells us that's not how it works.

    Oil is at a 17-month low, not because supply is down but because demand is down due to increased substitution internationally from oil to other sources (largely shale LPG).

    Citi's projections show that this trend will continue for the foreseeable/forecast-able future

    Policies are generally not made in the public interest above all else IMO and certainly not made with a long term view in mind.
    We are seeing a rise in support for a "Green New Deal" in the US, which somewhat invalidates this point.

    In fact, the removal of subsidies in many countries (including China) have resulted in massive shifts from oil. These are policy decisions.
    We need to restructure 'the way we do business'. Complete transparency an and end to corporate lobbying etc. With dictators like Putin, we can only hope for democracy in Russia some day.

    As regard 'world order' the term has connotations of the Illuminati but it's as good a name for any for the few who control the planet for their own personal gain.
    We're moving away from oil producing nations and groups having as much power as they had, and I know "power abhors a vacuum" but I don't think a reduction in the power of this group will lead to a NWO of some other (???who???) group.

    Some time has passed since this thread was last commented on.
    Now the green party has been largest in Germany for 3 consecutive polls.
    They could be in power soon or force other mainstream (they are mainstream now) parties to adopt green policies wholesale.

    The energy and dirty oil required to transport goods across Oceans will be taxed/levied/regulated out. Instead of globalisation, production will return closer to where consumption occurs.

    This new planet 'Protectionist' order should succeed in the west, where people are lost in low paid jobs and consumerism.
    The overton window will shift within the framework of green policy.

    The Right Wing battle of the bulge with Trump and Brexit will likely fail especially if the EU (which leads global regulation) is not pulled sown.
