Which means that it is necessary to reemphasize that history has demonstrated the hypothesis according to which the direction followed by historical progress from the stone age to modern society, from micro systems to macro system, from nomadic societies to city states, principalities, monarchies, states and nations, through crucial epochs, clearly indicates that the future will be organized in more and more complex macro systems (27:1) It is clear then that it is not through renewing obsolete political forms or economic systems already in use, that the world will overcome the current bottleneck, but only by adopting new spiritual, economic and social doctrines, adequate for the future: in other words through the adoption of a new world order that considers our Planet as a "common home". From a purely individualistic point of view we face a completely different interpretation of human anthropology. From the pure Marxist vision that regards man as a producer, consumer and worker who lives life as a struggle for his own physical survival throughout a thousand year history of exploitation, we find ourselves faced with a vision of man that lives to distinguish himself in the world of creation for his inner qualities and to develop his potentials; potentials and qualities that have been forgotten during the last part of history but that now begin to reemerge. Moral qualities of service, justice, abnegation that shape a new vision of man as a human being. In a perspective of global growth we can't ignore these latent qualities that are reawakening, not by chance, in a period of crisis. Despair in developing countries emphasizes even more the explosive emergence of this new human reality, kept hidden due to an erroneous education. Inner realities and qualities, like a coffer of gems, are beginning to reveal their splendor after difficulties and sufferings have begun to lift the lid.
(27:2)
