More DescriptionThe crisis of the modern world is nothing new. It has accompanied it since the beginning of modernity and is the case wherever modernization takes place. The changes and upheavals that accompany it are always ambivalent. They destroy the old to make room for the new. But the changes are difficult to foresee or even plan. The markets tend to tell the truth rather than the planners or the prophets. But you have to be able to bear that or, even better, you have to participate and expose yourself to the evaluation of the markets. Those who do not like or dare not do so, like to conjure up a romanticized past or outdated utopias such as socialism or communism, which have long since failed, proving their brutal inhumanity. The achievements of civilization, modernity and capitalism cannot be deceived. Real improvements can only come from the level of civilization, modernization and capitalization that has been achieved.
