Transition of capitalism for post capitalist society in mid century 21Fernando Alcoforado
We all have a tendency to imagine that the society in which we live will endure forever, forgetting or not knowing that there have been other economic systems that have come and gone, as is the case of slavery in ancient times in Greece and in the Roman Empire and feudalism in the Middle Ages in Europe. Unlike the transition from slavery to feudalism which was characterized by the forcible overthrow of the Roman Empire by slaves and dispossessed people barbarians, the passage from feudalism to capitalism took place with virtually no violence except for France with the French Revolution in 1789. Why capitalism would not have the same fate of slavery and feudalism? Just as slavery and feudalism had a beginning and an end, capitalism which had its beginning in the 12th century in Europe will follow the same trajectory culminating with an end in the mid-21st century. Faced with the collapse of the world capitalist system perspective in the mid-21st century, it is imperative the invention of new models of society on a global and national level to be able to rationalize the process of growth and economic and social development to ensure economic and social progress for the benefit of people of all the countries of the world.
