Evolution vs Revolution
Exposing the flaws of a broken system
Exposing the flaws of contemporary economic systems raises a crucial question: do we need evolution or revolution? The Italian economist Guido Maria Brera released an interview to a daily newspaper which provided another piece, a fundamental block, that perfectly completes the picture of a broken system.
“With globalization, the weaker classes gave in to the masochistic exchange of their rights for cheap goods. Fashion, household appliances, mobile phones became affordable and gave the illusion of well-being. In the meantime, homes, education and healthcare are becoming less accessible. The result is dramatic: rights, hardly won, bartered for goods.”
– Guido Maria Brera said.
In short, cheap goods have distorted the economy. But the issues aren’t confined to one industry only, they extend far beyond. In fact, the entire system is corrupted.
By the way, reflecting on Brera’s words, the need for a change stands out. However, we thought it was just a matter of evolving, considering evolution that natural process which is part of human beings’ growth. In other words, we believed we simply needed to move to the next level of improvements.
But a system that is collapsing, a system that is completely broken, perhaps doesn’t need to be revised. Mere revision or adjustments here and there, wouldn’t work. If we just put a patch on it, we will not find a good solution. Because of common sense, we are feeding dinosaurs that have lost their purpose. Most importantly, it’s impossible to find new ways if we follow old patterns. Once we understand this, the next step to take gets more clear. Now it is time to challenge what we take for granted.
And, to achieve this, we do not need evolution–we need a revolution.
Reset and reinvent everything from scratch: education – economy – work – fashion – lifestyle.
Everything!
