by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Lyndon LaRouche addresses himself to the question that both “leading political strata” and “also growing numbers of U.S. citizens generally, are responding to the most recent turns in the global financial crisis, by saying, in effect, ‘Doctor, tell me: what is happening inside my head?’...

“The relevant, crucial point of competent qualities of strategic thinking, is, that, while the physical survival of cultures depends upon society’s physical interaction with the universe around it, the question, whether a society will choose a successful form of radically new interaction, or not, is not an objective, but a subjective question. That is the issue which must become the center of attention for any crisis-ridden culture, faced with a breakdown in its previously established mode of survival.”
