Dateline 2010: the world-historical situation

One great city

The world is one great city, and the substance out of which it is formed is single, and there must necessarily be a cycle of change, in which one thing gives way to another, and some things are destroyed and others come into being, and some things remain where they are and others are moved. (Epictetus, ex-slave and Stoic philosopher, 1st century AD)
