• Resumen

  • The editorial presents the author's thoughts regarding the process of cascading failure behind the 2008-2009 global economic crisis. The need to apply lessons learned from the cascading nature of the economic crisis to other systemic threats, such as those presented by the crises of water shortage, energy shortage, and poverty, is also discussed.
