JumpinJesus is right. The answer pertains to the actions taken by the individual.
Cynthetiq, I understand your points exactly. However, I feel, that "Money" will become irrelevant to how we will deal with scarcity. Honestly, I do. There is much we can do now while it lasts, but then I would propose a bit more communist economics. I'm not a communist, I just feel we are seeing the dawning of the end of world economies and markets. We'll be seeking new solutions out of new ends.
We are leaving the Age of Power, whereas the rule "King rules and serfs obey" is abolished. Realistically, all individuals are actually more focused on the ethical behavior of civilization, and asking what is ethical from not a religious or political point of view, but literally a humanitarian.
Thus, we are entering the Age of Ethics, in which ethical philosophy, values, and standards are the laws of the land. You can observe this in the conflicts between traditionalists loyal to old institutions (conservative government, religion, patriarch, and so forth) and the massive movement for non-partisan and unselfish ethics (Environmentalism, Civil Rights, Global Unity, General Welfare [the ideology NOT the political frontier]).
And as the world economies are in a downfall with the US dollar leading the way, government leaders battling each other in war or at the brink....There is NOTHING a nation can do other than to give in to the new Age of Ethics and surrender to what I call the Ethical Movement.
Leaders who are greedy and non-benevolent, must be removed from their seats in government or their thrones atop parliaments. Belief-of-faith systems that speak of hate and discrimination prominently must be left and replaced with more open-minded spiritual studies, and new value systems of equality and community must exist.
The world separately and together must prepare ourselves to work together without discriminating prejudice, to survive the disparities and tragedies that await our world as the destruction of our old established civilizations come.
