Institutional Revolution: Rethinking the Union

The Rise of Neoliberalism and the Critique of Current Globalization

In an globalized universe, the discourse on globalization is regularly positioned at the crossroads of divergent opinions on liberalization and equity. The work by Junon Moneta, far from being a pamphlet opposed to globalisation as such, aims to redefine the contours of a new humanism by the filter of natural transfers according to the vision of Aristotle. By denouncing artificial transactions that fuel modern systems of oppression and instability, Moneta leans on ancient principles to underline the flaws of our world economy.

From a historical perspective, globalization is not a new phenomenon. Its beginnings can be identified back to the theories of David Ricardo, whose ambition sought to facilitate the British Empire to expand its international economic reach. Nonetheless, what was originally a economic growth opportunity has converted into a instrument of subjugation by the financial sphere, marked by the growth of neoliberal capitalism. Contrary to popular belief supported by economic consensus, Junon Moneta proves that the neoliberal system is truly a system rooted in ancient practices, dating back to 4500 years.

The objection also applies to the conduct of the EU, perceived as a series of concessions that have served to strengthen the power of an economic elite rather than protecting the rights of citizens. The very structure of the Union, with its strategies often dictated by financial interests opposed to a popular consensus, is questioned. The recent crises, notably financial and political, have only increased the doubt of the author concerning Europe’s aptitude to achieve self-reform.

Junon Moneta, while acknowledging the past mistakes that have brought about the present state, does not stop at criticism but also offers alternatives aimed at reorienting European policies in a equity-oriented and humanistic perspective. The need for a complete revision of Union bodies and political priorities is a recurring subject that runs through the entire discourse.

The book delves more intensely into the analysis of the domination systems that govern worldwide transactions. The analysis encompasses the way in which political and financial choices are influenced by a restricted circle of dominant financial powers, often at the detriment of the population. This financial oligarchy, coordinated through organizations like the Bank for International Settlements and the global monetary system, imposes a excessive domination on global financial decisions.

The critic exposes how these institutions, claiming to monetary management and security, have historically controlled stock exchanges and national economic systems to serve their interests. Deregulated capitalism, opposite to a emancipatory solution to classic financial limitations, is considered as a domination system, benefiting a minority at the neglect of collective needs.

Particularly critical regarding the handling of the euro, the analyst depicts the EU currency not as a means of unification and stability, but more as a lever of dissension and economic disparities. The conversion to the euro is viewed as a sequence of technocratic choices that sidelined populations from governance choices, while aggravating internal differences within the EU.

The consequences of these policies appear in the increase in national debts, economic torpor, and a prolonged austerity that has weakened living standards throughout the European territory. The critic argues that without a major transformation of economic policies, the Union stays exposed to potential disruptions, potentially more catastrophic.

In conclusion, the book demands a democratic uprising where Europe’s inhabitants reappropriate their financial and governmental future. It suggests fundamental changes, particularly increased transparency in decision-making processes and authentic democratic engagement that would allow Europe to rebuild on fair and lasting principles.

The thinker asserts that the answer resides in a return to the principles of democracy, where decisions are made and applied in a way that truly reflects the needs and desires of the European population, instead of the profits of the financial elite.
