that subsequently had a decisive role in the Allied victory of the

Indigenous cultures have known for thousands of years the importance of staying connected to nature for the sake of the human race. Today more than ever, societies have taken on a dangerous human-centered perspective that might lead us to our own demise. In this month's second expert opinion piece, Four Arrows, a professor at the College of Leadership Studies at Fielding Graduate University, explains why adopting a complementary Indigenous perspective is the key to knocking down societal structures that harm us and the planet, and keep us from living more connected lives.

conomic news seems to have been positive, with equities underpinned by an apparent triple lock of policy action in America, Europe and China. What could possibly go wrong? " -"To repeat Harold Macmillan's old saw – "events, dear boy, events". In the euphoria of recent central bank action, investors seem plain to have forgotten that restoring stability is a war on many fronts. Just as macroeconomic risk subsides, a number of geo–political threats have come roaring back to take their place. Chief among these is the possibility of Israeli military action against Iran.""Likewise with China, where the promise of massive fiscal stimulus may be more illusion than real. Capital Economics has taken a look at the recent flurry of infrastructure announcements in China and come to the conclusion that they don't really amount to a fresh fiscal stimulus at all, merely a repackaging of already known about initiatives into a seemingly impressive headline number.
The Chinese leadership must have been taking lessons from one Gordon Brown."
"In any case, hopes of a policy induced recovery may all along have been misplaced. Into this mix stumbles our old friend the Middle East, which can always be relied on to turn any already unstable situation into a complete rout."
"All the good work that central banks have been doing in underpinning confidence is in danger of being swept away by events over which we have no control. What's more, with the monetary dial already turned up to 11, there is little more policy can do to fight the effect with fresh monetary stimulus. The inflationary consequences of rising energy costs make any such action trickier still.
"Who knows? Maybe it won't happen. But financial markets may be set for another turbulent autumn."
