Food Crisis & the French Revolution
Odd.
The French Revolution was started because of a food crisis.
After a long drought, the poor were starving. The Crown traditionally gave out food in those times. But in 1789, after squandering its wealth, the aristocracy didn't do anything. Then, the king's head was chopped off and the Reign of Terror began, in the world's superpower at the time, sparking 2 centuries of revolutions, ending in 1989.
Now the world is globalized, and we have another food crisis that the rich and powerful West and media is ignoring in its importance. It's the U.S. presidential election, the subprime mortgage meltdown, the slumping economy, stagflation, the Chinese Olympics and Tibet, and, oh ya, the war in Iraq.
I wonder how this will turn out... ?

What I find titillatingly-ironic is that the French went bankrupt by helping the US deal with the British.
