Still the same old crisis...


From time to time since 2008 it seems that a new global crisis arrives, after and before a calm period. But, if we look more carefully, we can see that it is the same crisis since those days.
Some continuity is going through the ups and downs and it is difficult to understand and read it by “economy lenses”. Maybe it happens because this kind of crisis probably is a historical crisis, a cultural crisis, a “macro shift moment” between two eras: postmodern times are ending and after-postmodern are coming. The system, that was useful once, doesn’t work anymore as it worked before. That system was truly efficient and efficiency was a capital quality of it… But that efficiency does not give answer to the new questions or solution to the new problems. It is time to find a new paradigm to bring meaning to the signals seen in day by day, or in science, or in culture. Economic problems are not alone separated from other human factors. So, maybe it is necessary to use creativity and find new languages to understand and describe the differences among economies that are trying to find some common ground to them, that are trying to find a new Ariadne’s thread to go in and out of the labyrinth…
