1992 Series 1 Number 5 Page 9
In a paper first presented to CACOR in 1992, WC (Clive) Simmonds described for Buzz Nixon (the new president of CACOR) why we are in the mess that Aurelio Peccei had outlined in The Chasm Ahead.
In this 1993 publication, Clive stated that the source of our problems is the structure of our organizations which prevent their solution under today’s conditions. After delving into the details of bureaucracies (using examples from large corporations in the private sector), he set out a course to create a new economy in Canada.
He concluded that there was a path out of the “debt crisis” of the early 1990s. Among other things, that path required closer interaction between education, training, employment, research and development, investment, and welfare. The aim would be to provide what Canadians need: jobs, income, and security. He highlighted the need for and promise of hope.
[Of course, some would say that Canadians need for more than those four things, and that hope is just not a very good thing on which to rely–grim determination get more done. Ed.]
