We are in a nihilist low right now. I don't except that the United States will have any answers. This is because it is an 18th century experiment in governance. People are realizing that the experiment has run its course. I believe we will see a resurgence of 'guilds' for a lack of a better word (except in the United States that is stuck in an outdated experiment). Being a doctor or an engineer is almost an international designation now, their papers are accepted in many countries. International bodies of doctors and engineers will start to gain more power. Perhaps licensed bodies will demand a seat in parliament. For example all the doctors get to vote for a representative in parliament, amongst the reps whose seats are geographically based, engineers as well get one seat. This won't happen in the United States, but maybe one of the former eastern European Countries. The United States has shown that treating someone without education the same as someone with an education doesn't work.

The United States has shown that treating someone without education the same as someone with an education doesn't work. Our problems aren't created by uneducated people, they're created by educated people who are taking advantage of uneducated people. Removing that step from the equation makes their job easier, not harder.

  The question is who should be the ruling class Not the rich because they already have power. Not the uneducated because that won't turn out well. There are two groups; 1)The students that got a C in a technical course 2)Middle class people with more knowledge in culture than money One problem wit the United States is that the technical professions have let themselves be so marginalized. The Deep Water Horizon disaster would not have happened if the engineers had as much power as the managers. This is my point, the technical class in the United States doesn't realize it should have more political power. Scientists get kicked around too much. Any new country should see what happened in the United States and give more power to its technical class. This would be more of a meritocracy.
