ABSTRACT
Consider the following task. You are to design a “third strategy” that goes beyond the classical and now obsolete political doctrines of liberal laissez-faire and communist centralism to create a humanistic evolutionary scenario. The target date is the year 2020. You can assume that bifurcations in the 1990s have created an opening for fundamental change; by the first decades of the twenty-first century new ideas have a realistic chance of translating into social reality. What are the essential elements of the new strategy? What are its principal goals and objectives? To start the flow of ideas, here is one candidate for a humanistic evolutionary scenario—one “vision 2020.”
