Toward The Era Of Sustainability PDF Download

Is it possible for human society to shift from the current prevailing socio-economic system to the Sustainable Socio-Economic System, which would, once established, perpetuate through time and maximise the chances of the long-term survival and prosperity of mankind? Or are we forever bound to various forms of the market-monetary and centrally planned economic system with either democratic or dictatorial form of leadership, as has been the case throughout human history?This book illustrates that chances exist for the Sustainable Socio-Economic System to function and that the gradual transition toward such a socio-economic system could be successfully conducted without endangering the stability of society throughout its course.As it has been estimated that chances for the Sustainable Socio-Economic System to be established exist, the message that this book aims to convey is that theoretical concepts of the Sustainable Socio-Economic System and of the gradual transition toward it should be researched further by an independent research organization, applying the scientific method in all aspects of its research. This book defines goals of the research, which could be conducted by such a research organization, as well as proposes its organizational structure and methods of establishing it.The book also surpasses its purpose of conveying the previously mentioned message, for a large share of the book consists of analyses of the market-monetary democratic system, being the prevailing socio-economic system in the modern world, of analyses of the Sustainable Socio-Economic System, and analyses of the gradual transition toward this system. By reading this book, the reader can gain a detailed understanding of the aforementioned topics. He or she can therefore gain an understanding of the characteristics of the market-monetary democratic socio-economic system and of the characteristics and developmental tendencies of an economy and wider society within this system, and if using the framework provided in this book, can improve the understanding of historic and current events, as well as improve his or her ability to estimate future developments in the global economy and global society to a high degree of certainty. The reader can also become able to visualize the Sustainable Socio-Economic System, to understand the process of transition toward it, and to understand other possible types of transitions, some of which have taken place historically in human society.The Sustainable Socio-Economic System essentially represents a socio-economic system, which maximises the chances of the long-term survival and prosperity of mankind. It is defined by the Principle of Sustainability, a set of criteria required to be applied in all aspects of a socio-economic system in order for it to be characterized as sustainable.All socio-economic systems can be determined to either be sustainable or unsustainable, based on whether or not all of the criteria of the Principle of Sustainability are applied in all aspects of a particular socio-economic system. All past socio-economic systems that have taken place in human society, including the market-monetary democratic system, to a significant extent breach various criteria of the Principle of Sustainability, essentially meaning that all of these socio-economic systems have been and are unsustainable.As the characteristics of all possible socio-economic systems, which make the latter unsustainable, are explained in this book, the reader should gain an understanding of the importance of eventually conducting the gradual transition toward the Sustainable Socio-Economic System. After gaining this understanding, the reader could decide to support the idea of establishing an independent research organization, which would determine the possibilities of establishing the Sustainable Socio-Economic System and conducting the gradual transition toward it.
