Question from the Internet:

“Who is driving world economics at this moment?”

Society, economics and politics are simply the external representation of our human nature and the inter-relationships between human beings.

Especially economics — how we deal and trade with each other — is driven by our inherently egocentric, self-serving and self-justifying nature that tries to excessively accumulate resources and profit for the self at the expense of others while depleting Nature.

It does not matter who we identify behind certain processes, politics or systems and who we replace them with. Since the inherent nature is the same in all of us, it does not even matter if we pursue capitalism, communism or any other isms.

At the end of the day, the more selfish, more egoistic, forceful and powerful minority will always control, manipulate and exploit the majority to an intolerable breaking point when society breaks, and we start a new, helplessly recurring vicious cycle again.

Any improvement will come only when at least a critical minority of people recognize and accept the root cause of all our problems within themselves and, as a result, start a unique, purposeful and methodical self-change and self-development instead of blaming, changing or destroying others.
