With the wisdom we now have is it time someone produced a Das Kapital style solution to the world's problems?

Question

If so what would be the framework and/or foundations for such a solution?

There must be an answer out there somewhere in the ether just waiting to be picked like a ripe apple?

Answer 1

You mean, have those who do not know how to build and run factories seize the factories for those who invested in them and ran them successfully on the assumption that the factories and workers are the only ones who contribute to the products they build?

"Solutions" like that, locally or globally, do not work in the long run. It isn't a matter how much knowledge the human race uncovers; the whole notion is fatally flawed in its essential formulation.

Answer 2

I don't think Das Kapital really did amount to a solution. Marx was a good journalist and has some skill at ecconomics, but it was never a master plan for a perfect society.

Answer 3

G Read Daisaku Ikeda's peace proposals.

Answer 4

Of course it's yet possible to do "something" with the Das Kapital style solution, but who would bell the cat? Those who are with POWERS now & Controlling the world with the concept of Capitalism, would be the angriest & difficult factor against that your so-called imaginery way of solution! The fact is this, we really NEED a Das Kapital type solution now & we've that talented wise guys to do so. Problem is the BOURGEOIS------ who are continuously making the world-economics or trading or society complicated, making unusual profit & leaving others in h**l.  

Answer 5

Answer 8

Possibly, but such things are usually picked by someone with  guns and a medal fetish.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Before we start off modelling upon the principle of from everyone according to his ability and to everyone according to his need, before we begin to fashion our moans about the depletion of natural resource, consumer culture, capitalist societies, closed up states and governments, about poverty and rising prices, I would like to look at the most recent of the events that are changing and reshaping our world, for better at least for one part of it. We have seen how the communist government of China has relaxed it tight grip on the processes of change by allowing the benefits of free market economy to mingle with all that is old and traditional. How a country is opening its doors to a wider world, with gongs of celebration and drums of a sense of victory beating at the same rhythm. The victory over a past marred by periods of poverty, foreign aggression and issues of human rights, in bid to build a better world.

I do not see any thing new or inspirational there. It has happened by change in attitude, by the ripening a desire for change, and by the realisation of ability, by courage and enterprise.

I do not think that any thing from any one person could make any difference in the world any longer. We have seen ideologies coming and going and followers of those ideologies rising to the zenith of power and then reducing to the pages of history. It is possible that we are far wiser today than we were ever before. This is possible that the people of our world are far more educated and better informed now than they were ever before in the history of human civilisation. We have now instruments of global change for more powerful and effective now at our disposal. The distances that always exited among people exist no longer. If the population has grown than the world has come to be like a global village where seclusion and isolation is virtually impossible.

Is there really is need for change? I must ask first, and by asking this must also realise that I mean to say that are things not changing already? Should we not stay put, and wait, doing what we could do according to our knowledge and ability. I believe all things could get better in their due course of time. I say this when I speak with faith. This is often the case that human beings make worse of things while simply trying to make them better.

I do not think that there is anything ready made waiting to be picked that would suffice all need once and fro all. As I believe purposeful change is matter consistence human effort and maturity of and attitude, of harmony and understand, among various parts of a system or a state. These attributes that lead people to carve a better existence out of life are not any less important than natural human virtues of peace, justice, honesty and fairness.

I believe we could be better educated, properly informed, and similarly concerned so that when the momentum for change, its desire, gathers pace we all know as to what direction to head, we all have similar sources of courage, with similar abilities to make things happen, where we do not misunderstood, unappreciated, or lose in conflict what value most to all people.

I say that we could come to change the world today, and all things could be put on their paths of recovery till the end of this week or this month, only if we all understood each other better. If we are less fearful of each other we would be less confrontational. I think the thing to do in this world is to bring people together, not through some revolutionary ideology, but through improved and enhanced states of mind, through education, by allowing all to benefit from the fruits of knowledge, so that all are equally aware, equally great in their minds, so that we do not create only to destroy what others have created.

Answer 11

What it is time for is people to come to realize that there simply is no single solution to the world's problems.

Poverty:   No matter how we distribute the world's wealth, someone will want more and be unsatisfied.  If we enact a solution by force, someone producing will destroy our assumptions by producing less under a system that parts them with what is "theirs" by force.

Healthcare:  If everyone in the world had all the healthcare they "need", people will still die from something.  There simply is no amount of healthcare that can make anyone, let alone everyone, immortal.

Natural disasters:  There is no place we can go to be totally free from the possibility of a natural disaster of some kind.  Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, killer lightning, volcanoes... it will always be something.

That's where we need to start.  Admit that we can't fix the problems at all.  

If we realize that, we might be able to craft a system that allows individuals the best chance at dealing with the problems on an individual level.  More choices in occupation to provide better for themselves, choice of where to live to avoid disasters they don't want to deal with, choices of how to protect their own health.

It's called "Freedom".  The framework for it is found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  All we need to do is embrace those, accept that there will be some chaos and bad results, and stop looking for a Messiah to lead us out of our situation.
