The rise of tribalism is threatening to lead the world to a future of great-power conflict and runaway climate change. The only way to mitigate this risk is to negotiate a new social contract that addresses inequality head-on....A virtual impossibility in the current climate. Any viable solution requires a modification of the world system in ways that are not feasible politically. So the problem will be left to the kids and grandkids, and subsequent generations not yet borne.

The human locust is part of the same tribe. We'll continue eating the skin of this world, until there's nothing left.
