How has it solved through rationalization and discourse the fundamental issues related to human governance and development? In spite of its undeniable advances in medicine, better food, better education, better living conditions since early in the 20th century, how has the view that people are essentially self-interested actors in matters pertaining to their economic well-being; and that the building of just and prosperous societies can be ensured by one or another schemes of what is described as modernization played out? Far from narrowing the gap between the well-being of the small segment of the human family who enjoy the benefits of modernity and the condition of the vast populations mired in hopeless want, the collective effort that began with such high hopes has seen the gap widen into an abyss. Disillusionment and utter hopelessness reign in the hearts of the majority of the world’s people. Where are the promised benefits?
Please stick to the topic and avoid tangents.
