Abstract

Economic and political analysis of free trade and democracy always suggests that the market economy paves the way for world peace. However, military crises or wars have not ceased in the modern world and they can interrupt trade, production and financial flows. In times of economic and financial crisis, governments have to improvise, without much regard for the diplomatic, economic and social consequences of their actions on other countries. The policy of every man for himself has often been the rule in these periods, but today international bodies are seeking to develop common actions, often influenced by the lobbying of the interests of multinational firms. The large monopolies or oligopolies know how to shape the rules of international law that constrain national public authorities and how to escape their financial contributions to public services. Today, with global warming, it is the entire market economy system that must innovate and reinvent itself, or make way for other forms of society more concerned with collective interests.
