Finance:Glebelization

The concept of Glebelization comes from interdisciplinary studies according to which the process of the worldwide impoverishment is intended as the direct consequence of the phenomena of the present economic globalization. The process of economy mundialization is almost an unquestionable reality for a long time. This process, which according to some authors began even with the Italian Maritime Republics in the Mediterranean Sea and then consolidated with the discover of the New World, has been considered from different point of view by scholars of different social disciplines. The “Globalization” – as it is intended today this reality – has entailed well-known undoubted advantages, but entailing also non-trivial difficulties and contraindications. First of all the huge and apparently inexorable influence that the worldwide finance – which has been left free and without rules – performs in the economic world, so much that it had to be defined as “independent variable” of the economic system. That is, according to other scholars, we find us to operate in a “financiarized economy”. With the existence of an uncontrolled and global finance, together with unprecedented means of communication and innovation processes more and more rapid, the frameworks and the paradigms – which up until now have featured the approaches of the economic sciences, the politics, the sociology and the law – have the necessity of a deep reconsideration that could highlight the systemic interconnections amongst the different method of analysis. These analysis of interdisciplinary origin sometimes have obtained results which lead to make the conclusion that the mundialization process won’t represent a mere “globalization” with a positive amount as difference in terms of growing and development. On the contrary, it will entail the concentration of the worldwide richness in the hands of few groups, with a contextual generalized impoverishment of the middle classes, over all the Western’s ones, until today rich and powerful. Here, the consequent neologism “Glebelization” which conveys the return to the villeinage’s generalized poorness in the Middle Age or to the sceneries masterfully described in Charles Dickens’ novels narrating the miserable conditions of the poorer classes of the previous centuries.
