Carmen C.

The solid foundations of the economic institutions may crack as they have in the past; but they will continue to stand and withstand the changes brought about by the present conditions. Primarily, these changes are no different from what had occurred in the past. The only difference is that in the past, most of the players involved were mainly individuals or institutions. Today, we are dealing with nations and regions of diverse cultural and political characters. It is more than an economic problem but a wider and more wholistic phenomenon which involves geological, cultural, political, social, physiological, psychological and spiritual factors. Money no longer runs the world but the totality of the needs and aspirations of the whole human being. With billions of them, we can see how complex a problem that can be.
