New ideas in politics and philosophy tend to emerge in social, political, and/or economic stress.
How can this be exclaimed?

Well I think that new ideas tend to emerge when we are in times of need, or are in a stressful situation. I mean there is no point for people or civilizations or communities etc. to come up with new ideas when they are not forced to, there is no purpose. So for example there is President Bush who was in office at the time of 9/11 made the decision to go to war in Iraq. Wether or not that was the right decision he still went along with his idea thinking it would be a good idea and would help our "civilization" out, America. Leaders are constantly trying to up there status and become better by bettering there civilization, so there are plenty of bad ideas but there has to be a few good ones in the mix. Right now everything in America has gone bad, stock markets are crashing, the dollar is going down, houses aren't selling for very much at all and as in overall America is in the dumpsters right now. But hopefully Obama will become our new president and plenty of new, great ideas will emerge. Wrapping this up, when civilizations or people in general are in distress or harm they find ways to make there situation better trying to create a more stable and safe environment.
