Forces shaping the modern world
The definition of modern time will be the point of history when industrialization
started in the world, and the world got divided into the two-groups of nations: one
enjoying economic advancement due to industrialization and the other succumbing into
poverty, injustice, exploitation and colonial dominance by the rising industrial
nations. It began with the unprecedented advancement of science and technology, which
facilitated production, transport of goods and labor force at large distances from
homeland. It brought economic hegemony of a few nations over the rest who had no
access to these scientific knowledge and technology. Equipped with the power of innovation
and technology, they colonized nations in order to gain control of resources of raw
materials and cheap workplace. With rising scientific knowledge and technology, the
disparities as regards military power increased in an accelerated speed, which brought
the world under knees of a handful of Western nations. The greed for power and wealth
of these economically more successful nations generated economic systems of exchange
of more abstract nature, which produced values out of “nothing”, which could be lent
out to debtors who had fallen in economic difficulties. These debts generated even
more monetary values out of “nowhere”. The world turned into a Devil’s Casino and
a paradise of wealth and prosperity for a few and a hell of poverty-stricken life
for the majority in the world. The modern banking system introduced abstract ideas,
which in essence, became a way of generating capital out of “no production”, “no

as actors in the market as individuals seeking advantages, profits and more security
for oneself at the expense of other’s security of life, there is no other way to
define justice above the principle of “might is right”. Only the realization that
one’s security and quality of life depends on the security and quality of life of
others can set the premise of justice where exploitations can be avoided. Love, compassion
and solidarity are the foundations of such a just society.
Many argue that love and compassion are not too natural to human species: Human beings
are propelled by self-interests and desire of possessing resources advantageous to
oneself and the ones nearest to him/her. Sharing with the community as an equal member
is not the natural instinct of man. Possession, control and dominance are more natural
to our specie. Self-fulfillment is a greater drive for man to act than contributing
to the welfare of others.
This philosophy and view of life have driven the modern capitalism. Prior to the
rise of industrial capitalism, accumulation of landed properties in the hands of
a few, while the majority lived by selling their labor and products as agricultural
workers, defined the feudal economic mode. In such a feudal system the values were
based on scarcity or abundance, and the needs of the population for ......
