Summary/Abstract: The movement – operation and evolution – in time and space represent the form of existence of reality and therefore of human society and all its structures. Concretely, we are talking about all forms of activity undertaken by the society’s members through all forms of organization. These activities take place spontaneously and/or conscientiously, in very different proportions at all its levels of organization/selforganization; it is and has to be oriented. Orientation aims, above all, at identifying the directions of evolution, at establishing the desired purpose/purposes/ targets, ways and means of action, rhythms (speed) of development. In order that the societal movement and, equally, the economic one take place normally and with this hope, all its communities seek some guidance cues, which serve as guiding points or signs. These are the spatial and geographic cardinal directions, from the scale of the smallest human community to the planet’s scale and not infrequently going far beyond this. The most important instrument, the compass by which human society governs its ship through the whirling waves of time is science. Extremely complex and complicated realities, contradictory components which assume and repel each other can develop and function normally only to the extent that their actors – people, organizations and other structures – establish appropriate benchmarks with discernment and ensure that they will be obeyed within the elaboration and implementation of development strategies. The following study expresses the author’s opinion regarding some of the benchmarks considered important for the building and sustainable development of a new society and its economy.
