not  work  anymore.  Ability  to  create  is  no  longer  a  standard,
        personal efficiency is relativized.


        The  world  has  become  a  small  place  in  which  all  economic

        relationships are well defined and readily recognized. Demagogy
        permeated all the pores of our society. Huge companies look for

        states where labor is cheaper in order to have competitive prices
        in  the  global  market.  This  doubles  the  negative  effect  –

        developed  countries  lose  jobs  and  developing  countries  are
        inadequately paid. There is discontent on both sides. The owners

        of the companies are the only ones who profit from this, but it is a

        short-term  profit,  because  the  overall  purchasing  power  is  low.
        The  huge  competition  has  to  deal  with  hyperproduction.  As  a

        result, smaller, state owned and private companies cease to exist

        because  they  can  not  fight  for  their  place  in  the  fierce
        competition.  These  social  relations  have  caused  intensive

        economic  globalization.  There  is  a  decline  in  the  number  of
        manufacturing jobs while administrative jobs are on the rise.


        In this chaotic atmosphere, people do their best to survive. Those
        who are supposed to bring social progress seem unable to find a

        solution.  There  is  no  global  plan  for  a  global  economy,  just
        shallow and formal theories. The world is descending into chaos

        and the good has been replaced by the evil and even legalized.
