In his book Chaos Point: The World at the Crossroads (Charlottesville,VA:Hampton Roads, 2006), Ervin Laszlo specifies several discontinuities that are brewing in the current global situation: violent political upheavals in the Middle East; climate change producing geophysical disasters; international terrorism gaining access to nuclear weaponry; pollution getting out of hand, global epidemics.
What can one make of the current crises?
Applying systems theory, in particular chaos theory, to the global situation, Laszlo has produced a comprehensive analysis of the world at chaos point — that window in which minor fluctuations in human action could make the world succumb to destabilizing forces or break through to new stability.
