Three Wishes?
This is something I am borrowing and paraphrasing from the soc.history.what-if newsgroup, where I saw it last night. I haven’t actually dreamed up answers of my own for it yet, but perhaps some of you would like to tackle it via the comments, or the old blog-and-link method.
The proverbial lampbound genie comes out and is willing to grant you three politically or economically themed wishes, as opposed to ones for self-aggrandizement. This means new social, economic or political policies you’d want instituted in the world, disliked politicians or laws you’d want replaced or revoked, or that sort of thing. What are your three wishes? Feel free to elaborate on reasoning and expected consequences.
