The founding vision of the model for understanding and explaining the functioning of the world is nowadays made up of precepts which defy the essence of natural, organic evolution. In the economy speculation tends to replace work, while in the life of the individual the illusion unravels reality. The present consumes the future, justifying this as a favor towards human rights. The freedom of commerce acts as a centripetal force towards competitive advantage and centrifuges the ideality of development. The theoretical wrapping is politically correct, but the practices conserve disparity. The economy concentrates wealth at a fast rate, but society does not escape poverty.
