THE RIVER OF POVERTY IN HISTORY AND TIME
THE RIVER OF POVERTY IN HISTORY AND TIME

Summary/Abstract: If we start from the well-known hypothesis that modernization and globalization lead to inevitable decline of economy, we can assume that it has lost some of its power of persuasion. In a global society, which is perpetually changing, at times even causing earthquakes, people change their opinions from day to day, and, the winner can only be the one who reacts the fastest. The vision of globalization can be replaced by the idea of dispossession of capital. According to this, the fact, that poverty persuaded the consumer not to believe in values, proves the compatible character between material and immaterial. From the empirical hypotheses, older ideas about the lack of liberty and equality in economic development, on the epistemic level which can be described as having no power, sex, resentment, etc., we should have in view reductionist hypotheses. On the other side, on the globalized level, the problems belong to the utopic private sphere, but the main actors, the state and supranational organizations have contributed to defining a semi globalization of politicization with diverse inequalities. This new situation has to be reshaped into new forms and ways of existence, both within and outside the consumer. For a variable, which must be known empirically through research done along decades and centuries, we choose two significant periods of time in order to emphasize the poverty myth, having in mind three chosen foods: cheese, fish and olives. In Romania, a major dilemma and even a paradox is highlighted by the comparison of the two periods – the one between the wars and the current one, because there is a stringent need to build a free market and a durable eco-centrist development. Furthermore, this matter can be analyzed using a few scenarios, allowing the possibility of historic typological reflections with those of the Romanian case, and, also the possibility to adopt a unifying policy and an instrumental role towards the formation of a free nation, with no ambiguities. A crucial problem of today’s society is the fact that poverty has deepened and few people live really well. To sum up, we will analyze not only the internal but also the external causes with a view to determining the causes of the global recession and the economic contagion acting now. Why a new global crisis? Are there positive and negative shocks? The common term is the ability of realism to shape a new vision about the world we live in, trying to prevent a new involution.
