(live-PR.com) - The Energy Crisis has two huge effects. The first is a reach/distance contraction within the economy (less transport and less mobility, due to high energy prices). The second effect is caused by the fact that energy is used for everything, so everything gets more expensive, so inflation grows and while the economy not grows, stagflation occurs (one of the causes
of the Credit Crisis).
The Credit Crisis has a capital contraction effect within the economy (as in: significant less market capital available). Less capital equals always less economy. Stagflation once again (added to the already by Energy Crisis caused stagflation). Additional this gives a deleveraging of the money market: people/companies/investors turn their back to currencies, stocks and banks and flow to static/safe harbours like gold. The Global Future Analysis contains a lot of easy accessible/readable information and data on the Credit Crisis concerning both money creation and economic stagnation.
The Water Crisis is yet very unknown in 2008. But in the Midwest of the USA, the South of Europe, China, large parts of Africa, the Caucasus and the Middle East the Water Crisis is becoming a huge facet of the economy. Water shortages in this regions certainly increase their food prices severely (Food Production = Water Irrigation), which has direct effects on the global food prices.
Planck Foundation supports by its Analyses, Models and Facilities a massive revitalization of local economies as the valid/best solution/response to both the Energy Crisis and the Credit Crisis. A solution that mathematically certainly has the best odds in maintaining prosperity as energy becomes expensive and global credit get scares. Vibrant Local Economies. Local Prosperity as Economic Model for the 21st century.
The Global Future Analysis is a shortened (actualized and not illustrated text only) version of the Global Resources Analysis | Situation 2008 (ISBN 978-94-6012-002-2). That forerunning report has had more than 300.000 downloads and more than 1,800,000 readers -due to third party forwarding- since April 2008. The Global Future Analysis (ISBN 978-94-6012-001-5) has also a commercial bookstore paperback version which is available globally. The name of the commercial version is ‘the Perfect Storm: when the energy crisis joins the credit crisis’.* But some national publishers has named the book “The end of globalization (as we know it).” or “Blueprinting the 21st century.”.
Some quotes from the first pages of this report: “It has been said that there are three types of people: Those who make things happen. Those who watch things happen. Those who wonder what happened.” “You need to understand Currency, Credit, Minerals, Energy and Water. Watching the News without some basic knowledge of those five is useless. Knowledge of those five make History, Present and Future clear to you.” “Food = Soil + Carbon Energy + Water. Economy = Production + (Currency * Credit) – Cost (Minerals + Energy + Water). Wealth = Economy * Geopolitics.” "What people need to hear, loud and clear, is that we're running out of energy in America. (George W. Bush, May 23, 2001)”
Further build on the information/conclusions gathered for these 2 Analyses Planck Foundation is currently creating 10 Generic Models that can lead/support governments/companies in initiating the actual needed changes: These 10 Models are: the Action Model, the Communication Model, the Localization Model, the Production Model, the Currency Model, the Privacy Model, the Peace Model, the Political Model, the Knowledge Model and the Finance Model.
Planck Foundation will beside these 2 Analyses and these 10 Models, also develop a wide set of digital communication based Facilities to support both the local/regional/national and the sector/technology focused initiatives. There is no doom scenario/conclusion in both Analyses. For any recognized problem there are some solutions defined/researched.
The goal of Planck Foundation is creating a huge Global/Local Development Movement. Facilitating the businesses, inhabitants and counsel of every city/village/municipal with these digital action/knowledge/communication Facilities. That’s the ‘Think Global, Act Local’ response to the Credit Crisis and the Energy Crisis. At Planck Foundation we have chosen this as our main subject for the next years: finding solutions, building knowledge networks of specialists, stimulating initiatives and creating digital facilities.
As Planck Foundation is dedicated to support governmental/corporate/municipal strategy in a changing world, universities, economic/political/environmental organizations, companies, schools, media publishers and website publishers may run (for example in a 2 week during subject per day run) partial chapter or subject sized copies of the Global Future Analysis texts and/or distribute the PDF files without asking for approval, if the source is mentioned and texts are not changed.

The Global Future Analysis has a 1000 to 1 knowledge ratio: 1000 hours of research for 1 hour of writing. It also contains very actual information (as it is kept up to date weekly). On
www.planck.org/testimonials you can also find many testimonials of many quite important/impressive people and/or leave your own testimonial behind.
On January 20-21, 2009 is the Congress “The Permanent Oil Crisis” (challenges and opportunities of economic production in a post oil/carbon world), with some very clever economic leaders on the podium.
