Superclass: the Destruction of Wisdom &
the Deification of Neolibaralism
By Ylli Përmeti
It has been long time since Aristotle deliberated about the [1]‘real science of nature‘. This science has its roots in ‘human mind’ of the planet earth and consist with the word: Wisdom. Since the deification of neoliberalism has spread in its realm, i.e. post-mix-Keynesians with all ‘Right’ and ‘Left’ persuasion policies which have showed their ‘teeth’, there has been a huge change in the social sciences. No one can today even in western ‘abundance’ afford the economic collapse. No one can foresee this social science in the real realm either the ‘right policies’ i.e. Reagan, Bush‘s family, Thatcher, et. al. with their mentor Milton-Fried[manism] or the ‘left policies’ the so called social-liberal in Europe, AustralAsia with their central figure John Stuart Mill. It is clear then, the above policies reflect the structural changes of the market economy and the equivalent business requirements of post-modernism. Furthermore, these policies have nothing to show in this cosmogonic part as rational in the realm of family. Evidently, left wings can’t offer any solution into this hotchpotch.
How can ‘one’ then explain the economic crisis and the same time protect the notion of family? The issues that we have to examine is the ‘presently universal neoliberalism policies’ and how this market goes to the abyssment and the same time lead to the decadence of the family? Since the markets in China and else where have the conceptual point of departure and the elaboration of their economics from western schools it is easy to understand, then, the ‘Bubonic Plague’. Having then adopted and visualised this ‘bubonic crisis’ we can start with the development of the crisis.
Point of departure is the expansion of all major multinational corporations based in the countries of the transnational elite. The expansion consist as Bent Flyvbjerg pointed out -- with the economic irrationalism, moreover with the consensus within an elite level to accumulate the wealth of the world . They began with this consensus and the same time antagonistic and crave spirit to move significant parts of their manufacturing industries (in some cases even services, as e.g. in India) to these paradises of low-cost production. The immediate result being is the “deindustrialisation” of the North and the corresponding pseudo-industrialisation of some countries in the South. The same truck or game is played within post-state communism in an ex-community country in the heart of Europe; in Albania by its neighbouring countries: Italy and Greece. The aim is evident: harvest festival which lead to the corruption of the country and to the creation of a new marginalised elite which have to make a consensus within as David Rothkopf called it ‘superclass‘, by gathering in this way the ‘opulence’ on the hands of the ‘plundering’. As a result of that, the ‘rapture’ of labouring with the institutionalised keeping high technology, goes to be fundamentalist. Even research and development centres, as well as specialised “products” like financial services, medical services, food services in the metropolitan centres have transferred their manufacturing process in the third realm. Furthermore, all these ‘wealth’ goes on the hands of the superclass.
This ‘elegy’ is well-known and we have to go further through the abyss.
After these expansions of the western economy knowledge to those countries and the same time keeping and feeding the western population in a real paradise -- telling them: ‘quick and easy money’; ‘zero percent down payment’; ‘creative financing’; ‘earning money by doing nothing’; ‘bad credit, no problem’ and so on, have their roots in the sub-prime market in U.S which led to the collapse of the property market. Being in the same light, the western population or working class has been led to a pathetic creativity. In Britain, for instance[2], the financial and business services sector has been responsible for almost half of the growth in the economy and the London and the housing market have been proving recently the two main sources of growth. In the same light, is the ‘exchange science’ which figure the western economy, which is based on shares and debentures. This ‘floating charge’ to individuals led to this extremely bad conditions.
On the other side of the Atlantic, all the capital which is made in China or in India by the multinational companies goes back to the superclass. These money is not invested in the countries where the money comes. For instance, to improve their schools, universities, institutions and so on. Since their money is on the hands of the superclass they start to play and to invest trillions in ‘democratizing’ east countries, i.e. Iraq, Pakistan and soon Iran.
Undoubtedly, this lack of wisdom lead till now all wings of politics in a self-destruction condition.
