Some assumptions
of the Industrial State of Mind |
Correlative
Characteristics of the Next Sate of Mind |

|
On relation to resources
|
|
Long term eventual
scarcity of raw materials doesn't matter. Next year profits are
the issue ('unconcerned')
or
As far as material resources
are limited, we must drive ours economies towards zero growth
('concerned') |
Industrial
production must shift towards more abundant materials.
Nevertheless, new economic activity must be mainly based on
nonmaterial resources, which are not limited but infinite. As
resources for New Economic Activity (NEA) are unlimited,
we may intend indefinite economic growth. |

On the notion of wealth
|
|
The real production
of wealth can only come from manufacture of materials
The future well-being of
industrial regions, currently menaced by recession, must be
rooted on re-industrialization
Wealth production derives
mainly form scale economies |
Work on
nonmaterials will produce more wealth than industrial
production.
The future well-being of
industrial regions, currently menaced by recession, must
gradually be shifted to NEA.
New dimensions in the
production of wealth will be attained if we undertake some
qualitative changes in the current forms of economic activity |

|
|
On perception of nonmaterial reality
|
|
Only tangible
reality must be taken into account.
Intangible reality is vague,
indefinite, mildly existent and probably inconsequential |
As far as intangible
reality is the main precursor of our forms of activity, it is
the most important aspect of real wolrd |

On economic thinking
|
|
Industrial production
is far more crucial than communication.
Knowledge must serve industrial
production. The contrary is unthinkable.
The whole economy acts as
a material engine and must be driven in the same way.
Monetary systems are in fact
the same as machinal material paraphernalia.
Economic growth can't develop indefinitely
at rate higher than 5 %. |
Communication is far
more crucial than industrial production.
Industrial production must bear
the creation of better conditions for further production of new
knowledge.
The whole economy is a
nonmaterial system which requires specific forms of
management substantially different from management of material
machinery.
Monetary systems are more subtle
than machinal material paraphernalia.
The economy can grow as fast as
5 % or more in the years to come and will be able to develop
even faster afterwards. |

On models
dealing with reality
|
|
The "truth" must only be found using
deterministic approaches.
More efficient and rational way for the production of new
economic and social reality is to plan almost everything using
causal models |
The human phenomena can't be fully understood with
deterministic models.
Indetermination and chaos are primary sources for the
production of breathing reality. Planning is only a mean to deal
with most mechanical and secondary aspects in the production of
new reality |

|
On the nature of
men
|
|
Manpower acts in the same way that material
machines do and must be treated accordingly.
Only "hard" facts count. Emotions, feelings,
desires and other aspirations must be subordinated to facts. |
Manpower is substantially different to material
machines and must be treated accordingly.
Emotions, feelings, desires and other human aspirations must
also be considered as "hard facts". |

Personal power, growth and relevance depends on
how much you are able to predate |
