World-wide integral education is ultimately the answer--fundamental work on human relationship and mutual responsibility. Piecemeal subsystem approaches that do not address this are doomed from the start. Two reasons: (1) hypocritical paradox rightly leading to, (2) cynical use of the limitless loop holes in any plan that the unscrupulous--anyone not educated/convinced concerning interdependence that have the brains, resources, and opportunity (a plentiful minority)--can and will use to torpedo any such piecemeal reform.



To explain:



(1) Is income disparity between children in different countries, far wider, “fair”? If a child is beyond Romania, living in a continuous desperate situation in a country beyond the “developed” pale—is that, then, the child’s fault that only income disparity within a country is considered? If so, perhaps income equality within states/provinces, within communities, or just within families should be considered?



(2) Guaranteed, without an intangible good will that can only arise out of a global society attuned to basic human relations of mutual responsibility, there are always loopholes. Specifically, beyond the fact that there is an outside to the national system (that’s why we have multinational corporation’s!), in any set of laws, there are always actions that can be expressed and taken within the context of these that can neither be demonstrated to be legal or illegal. This is mathematically guaranteed, not opinion—so when there is a will, there will be a way—no matter how many previous ways get plugged up by new legislation. Of course, the key is that you don’t have to keep the law, but just not violate it—one being innocent until proven guilty, not until proven “not innocent.”



In short, anything real must be global, and begin at the grass-roots of human relationships. Now just how do you do that in a world of corrupt politicians and other power brokers (the tragicomedy under the misnomer “United Nations” being the poster child)?



Here, one can begin directly at the grassroots where countries are open too it, and those who haven’t learned at a higher system level the important of global interdependence—let it filter by osmosis while leaders there sweat bullets over the inevitable. While an abysmal failure in its goals, one thing such things as the Arab Spring, is how unstable the growing socioeconomic chaos is becoming and how unstable the futures of governments that don’t do something about it. Look how frightened Kim Jong-un is about a comedy film.



Doing something about it isn't scapegoating or waving religious ideologies or promising conquests. The circus is getting too ho-hum for people growing daily in their wants and expectations not to notice that the bread is getting thinner. It is going to hit the fan as interdependence coupling growing in strength, non-linearity, and complexity steers civilization into deterministic chaos. The only “something,” is what works in natural communities—mutual-responsibility/altruism matching the chaos’s signature “fractal orbit” through phase space (structural and functional variation), using it to communicate across organizational scales to sense, analyze, and react holistically in real time to establish a new civilization—being if you would—in homeostasis.



The alternative is to be alternatively torn to pieces and crushes as the machinery of chaos spins unchecked—mercilessly.



Deterministic chaos in all its infinite complexity can arrive from very simple self-referential equations. Surviving and thriving to a better and greater day will also require such to match and overtake the meat grinder. It is ironic hearing the somewhat odd entry into other comments of the Creationist/Evolutionist debate. Because ironically those equations of survival required by God or Nature, as you prefer, are actually, “What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow,” and “Love your fellow as yourself.”



-- Then again, is that really so strange…
