Summary/Abstract: The globalization process and the coronavirus pandemic have unmasked Neoliberalism’s destructive relationship to science, education, and healthcare. Society’s critical condition makes clear how the dominant politics of populism undermine science and subordinate it to questionable ideological models. We see fully revealed Bosnian society’s lack of convincing social scientific analysis of these phenomena and processes or, indeed, of any generally humanist orientation in education or everyday life. Sociological analysis and the economic picture inform how the millions who make up a given population are oriented, both in peace and under conditions of crisis. Science is a necessity under both sets of conditions, as a pillar supporting society.
