The Economic Sustainability and the Good Government

Abstract

What could be the relationship between economic sustainability and good government depends on the role that the community plays in daily life and in economic relations. The community or rather the community majority is the natural interpreter about the survival issue for the past and future generations. Furthermore, the same majority can speak for the natural world on the economic orientations and on the current guidelines regarding the programs of the current government. Because of its responsibility towards the survival of human beings, it must have also an indisputable role in the economic development. It’s therefore called to choose the best ruling class and to express consent or dissent on government members and on their programs. Listening to the voice of the community is an obligatory duty but should be also an opportunity to be exploited, in order to follow the orientation towards a linear development and the least damage to nature. In fact, we have a double possibility in the economic path: that is, to follow the natural trend that leads to the least damage and also to the linear development course. Otherwise, we could fall into the instability circuit, which we can call sub-world, and which brings with it the sinusoidal curve of conjuncture growth together with its accompanying attendants: Inflation and Deflation. Staying on the balance line, therefore, means having the consent of the community which instinctively prefers the option “Tomorrow the same as Today”. On the contrary, there is the fall into an unbalanced economic cycle with monetary alterations leading to a widespread dissent from the community. The voice of nature, expressed through the community, can be the prophetic and natural support in order to return to a good relationship with the nature and the economy. The economic issue does not exhaust the whole potential of the communities, which are the true guardians of the survival of human beings and must therefore be the absolute and mandatory owners of the relations between States and communities; this means that the current governments shouldn’t have any delegation about conflicting relations in the foreign policy. Only in this way, all the decisions on conflicts and war would fall exclusively within the context of the decisions pertaining to the communities, which, as holders of human survival, can do nothing but exclude the possibility of war as a system of mediation between peoples and nations.
