| By 2017, the planet was on the verge of a population explosion of young people. People under the age of 30 already accounted for about half the population of what was euphemistically known as the ‘developing world,’ and in Egypt, for example, they made up half the labor force. However, as the world economy continued to stagnate, there were fewer and fewer jobs, even for those young people who had some how managed to get an education. Even in advanced countries like Spain, youth unemployment had already risen to a staggering 50%, and in retrospect the Arab Spring of 2011, along with the occupations of public squares from Madrid to Wall Street, appeared as the opening stages of what was to become a planetary rebellion of billions of young people against an inherited economic and social system with no place for them. | By 2017, the planet was on the verge of a population explosion of young people.

| Ironically, the cynical youth of 2017 knew they lacked even those consolations. With no jobs, they had no “chains” to lose. As for “a world to win,” since earliest childhood they had seen their world being destroyed before their eyes by unprecedented floods, droughts, famines, monstrous storms, massive pollution and the destruction of forests, fisheries, farms, families villages and cities – all for the profit of a few thousand rich old men and their well-paid governmental and military minions. No wonder they spent their idle hours on line playing the “Billions vs. Billionaires” game. And dreamed of putting its lessons into practice. | Ironically, the cynical youth of 2017 knew they lacked even those consolations. With no jobs, they had no “chains” to lose.
