Abstract:
The main purpose of this paper is to make an interdisciplinary analysis over the economic phenomenon by starting with its basic pillars and continue with its implication and connections to the other parts of social life.
The starting point of the current study is my strong belief in the necessity of rediscovering the true basis of the economic science. Lately, we had to deal with various problems like accentuation of inequalities, poverty, decline of educational system, incoherence of the monetary evolution, all culminating with the economic-financial depression in the latest years.
But all of the above represent only epiphenomenon, the upper side of a deeper cause that reveals a certain kind of spiritual decadence, a latent crisis of culture and civilization.
We have to remember and to (re)start believing that the real object for the economic knowledge is not wealth, but the absolute human being.
