A timely piece from Satyajit Das
“Edmund Burke saw
society as a partnership between those who are living, those who are dead, and
those who are yet to be born. A failure to understand this relationship
underlies a disturbing global tendency in recent decades, in which the
appropriation of future wealth and resources for current consumption is
increasingly disadvantaging future generations. Without a commitment to
addressing this inequity, social tensions in many societies will rise sharply.”
