Jonas Salk, the discoverer of the Salk polio vaccine, sees America as moving into a closed system, with limited supplies of food, energy, etc. rather than the open one it had been accustomed to. This, he says, calls for new values and a new orientation, with greater emphasis on interdependence and sharing of resources.
