1. Interesting read, missing creative vision - Well written, well documented, factual impression on the world economics hinging on comodities. In my opinion it underestimates the vast possible change that creative people will bring about at the same time and in years I am sure it will look different and rosier.

In september 2015 ontdekt een Amerikaans agentschap dat de werkelijke uitstoot bij dieselmotoren van het Volkswagenconcern veel hoger is dan wordt beweerd en dan is toegestaan. Wat blijkt: er wordt software gebruikt die ervoor zorgt dat de auto minder uitstoot tijdens testsituaties dan op de weg – daarmee omzeilt het bedrijf de strenge milieueisen. Het is een schandaal van enorme omvang, dat verder blijkt te strekken dan alleen Volkswagen. Inmiddels is pijnlijk duidelijk dat de nationale autor...
