Post-Economy of 21st Century

Since the beginning of the 21^st century the world is in a transition, a macro-shift to a new period of history, a new era, after the postmodern period corresponding to the second half of 20^th century. An economic crisis started in 2008 and it is still not over, although with ups and downs sometimes it seems that there are several crises, but in true it is the same only one crisis yet, with different faces…

It is so because what is in crisis is the postmodern system. One can ask why something that worked very well did not work anymore. We do not know the wright answer but what we know is that history is like this, history changes anyway, despite human efforts to keep the path the was useful for decades. Paradigms do not stay strong permanently. What happens in biological, physical or chemical level that are all time changing happens also in human, social, anthropological, world, although there are physical, chemical and biological laws… And all happens in cycles also…

Anyway, now that pragmatic economic directions are not working anymore despite people try “to keep in the game…” Economy is not something only rational. The subjective side of economy emerges from time to time and maybe now is one of those moments. The market is nervous, non-confident, etc. So, numbers are not enough.

We do not know what is going to be the new economy. Maybe this kind of “post-economy” is under construction with new factors that are still arising…
