Some people dedicate themselves to some things, others dedicate themselves to different things, and in some way what they produce not only benefits them, but also others. Hence the notion of commerce.</p>\n<p><br>\nsocial groups evolve: from the clan to the tribe, then from the federation of tribes to the nation and from the nation to humanity.</p>\n<p><br>\nI am very interested because it is my own belief that as long as there are countries that continue to seek an \"empire\", there will always be hunger in the world ... because this problem is not solved not because it can not, but because politically that goes against imperialist interests.<br>\nWithout hunger, there will be no subordination.<br>\n<br>\nI have seen impressive documentaries where a group of crocodiles live together and eat only once a year, where only one of them is the one that hunts for everyone. Is awesome.</p>\n<p><br>\nthe various Christian ways to sustain this behavior of collaboration and mutual support. Again, problems arise when the religious issue begins to mix with the politician, creating interests.</p>\n<p><br>\nIf the authors I have read are accurate, precisely the Christian religion was born of mutual support given by the poor, prostitutes and the sick, creating a group based on faith and ideals. Movement that would later be usurped by the Roman government with its own interests.</p>\n<p><br>\nIt is interesting because here come stories of how prostitutes are one of the greatest assets of humanity and mutual support. For example, in the United States of cowboys against Indians, it was the prostitutes who raised the \"cowboy\" people, financed schools, doctors, helped people in need (something very similar to how it happened in Christianity in Europe before the 4th century) and prostitutes were a main reason money entered these towns. Too bad the document does not talk about the subject at all.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><br>\n<strong>Returning to the question ...</strong></p>\n<p><br>\nHowever, I do not think this is a real dichotomy. Competition and mutual support are not two sides of the same coin.</p>\n<p><br>\nWithout doubt mutual support is necessary, hence the existence of governments.<br>\nHowever, economic development comes from competition, hence the industry.<br>\nThanks to economic development, we can face the challenges that a more united and modern society requires.</p>\n<p><br>\nMutual support comes when governments treat certain resources as rights and not products, so that access is given to everyone: school, water, health, housing, etc. From here comes the fact that it is the people who, if not in consensus but in democracy, postulate the rules on which everyone can make use of their rights.</p>\n<p><br>\nThe two get to collaborate, in fact. They are capitalist societies that give support to those who want to launch a project. The strong helping the weak. Sure, they have their reservations because their resources are not unlimited. But it is also tinged with corruption when we put human nature into the equation: there are people who want more than others and, in turn, within ambitious people, there are people with and without scruples.</p>\n<p><br>\nCompetition purges inefficiency. For example, dismiss unproductive employees.<br>\nBut it is the mutual support, the access to opportunities, that this person can find a new place in another competitive environment.</p>\n<p><br>\nSo, given my own vision, I believe that the real opposite of mutual support is global imperialism and the real opposite of monopoly competition.<br>\nFrom global imperialism we see that rich countries get the benefits of the resources of poor countries and while economic development within rich countries is acceptable, it is practically non-existent in poor countries.</p>\n<p><br>\nThe historically poor countries that have become rich are almost nil.<br>\nThe opposite is more common, like Argentina in the early 20th century compared to Argentina in the early 21st century. The first had people who lived better than the Europeans of the time!<br>\n<br>\nBut global poverty has diminished, what has not?<br>\nOn the other hand, the World Bank's metrics can not be taken as a yardstick to measure, because it compares everyone to the poorest African countries and not according to the context of each nation and its situation.</p>\n<p><br>\nAnd believe me, almost any country looks like a paradise when you compare it with countries where hunger ends with thousands and thousands of people a year. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"pkpzlthl5","appParentAuthor":"ssee333","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
