The epistemic abandonment

„The consequence of violence is even greater violence, the power of one extreme activates the force of the other extreme and the structural adversity produces adverse systems.”


When Economics centred its analytical system on wealth, a double epistemic abandonment occurred. Economics chose to prevalently single out an exception – the individual wealth – and to promote it as the exclusive target for human action. Instead of serving the natural diversity of the roles of coexistence, Economics has now also chosen to segregate the options of identity from the moral motivation.
