Description:

Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time.

The history academic at Georgetown University, Carroll Quigley, former tutor of Bill Clinton,
wrote in his book, Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time, that there have been
four industrial revolutions. Yes, that familiar language coming from the World Economic Forum
was being written about in the 1960s already by Quigley. The perspective which is being
assumed here is that of who owns the population, first in Britain and then in the British Empire.
• First revolution: the ownership of land, of agricultural means provides wealth
• Second revolution: mechanical - industrial
• Third revolution: in which financial capital dominates the world.

It's from this period around 1870 onwards that the smart money in the City of London realizes
that even that bubble is going to burst.
The most efficient way to own the world in the future,
will be to own the minds. That is the fourth industrial revolution.
Both the British and the German elite were determined to achieve world domination, both
industrially and in the mind space.
The City of London’s trading model emphasized the importance
of controlling, not just military force or physical assets anymore,
but the minds of people now known as human resources.
This is why science fiction starts speaking
about ownership of man’s genetic makeup from this time.
