Aseem Shrivastava and Rupert Read – Does globalisation make ‘Covidisation’ inevitable?
For more than a generation of economic globalisation, to turn the old adage on its head, it seemed to many that ‘wealth is health’. In the bargain, as everything, including health, came seemingly to rest on the willing shoulders of money, huge fortunes were made and all but universally sought, in what has come to be called an ‘aspirational world’. Although it might equally be called a world of emptiness, one without aspiration to anything worthwhile.
For, in a grim reminder of the fact that we
have in effect been encouraged to escape reality itself in the name of
‘freedom’, the Coronavirus pandemic has been here during the last year to rap
us on our knuckles, as you might reprimand little children, that health is
still wealth, that, as the great John Ruskin had it, life is
the true wealth, and that little has actually been well with
us and the world all this time that the big fortunes were being made.
We live in an age soaked in propaganda.
Could reality actually be much simpler than we are being led to think nowadays?
