According to self-described “futurist” Richard Neville, due to hyper-consumerism and its detrimental environmental effects, “there are going to be very turbulent social times ahead”.

What individuals will be the “target for outrage in the future”, the object of this turbulence? His hit-list includes:
1. economists
“People are going to start getting very angry at economics because their whole profession is based on encouraging growth.”
2. directors of corporations:
“[C]orporations also need to promote growth and, of course, we love them–how can we know who we are unless we identify with a brand.”
3. the rich
“How can you be rich and be carbon-neutral?”
Ah, the very individuals who create the conditions, materials and investments necessary for prosperity. A winning formula to be sure!
