A change is as bad as a rest

Abstract

Change within our lives … Change is an important feature of the natural world. Everything is in a state of flux. The simplest organisms mutate. Social structures alter, periodically fragmenting and reassembling in alternative forms. By failing to evolve, an organism lays itself open to threats which exist within a modified environment. However there is, working in opposition to a natural desire for change, an equally strong desire for stability and continuity. How often do we hear the expression ‘what we need now is a period of stability’? Politicians call for it, as do economists and industrialists.
