Right now with all the industrialization there is tremendous suffering, starvation, and war AND environmental degradation on a global scale
Even so, this is a rather plentiful and peaceful period of human history. Food is more affordable now than ever, and conflicts are more skirmishes than the world wars and conquests of the past.
I do agree on the environmental degredation, and I think global warming could destroy all of our progress. I think forcing responsibility on corporations and developing scientific solutions will be the way forward though. Any one nation or state trying to de-industrialize will not stop global warming, we all have to work together.
