G-7 vs BRICS

Competition between economic groups is becoming a very topical topic, as BRICS has announced a higher per capita domestic product (GDP), while the G-7 itself has it. The division into economic groups is becoming even more topical, as war zones are emerging inside and outside individual economic groups, and such a state of war can be described as an economic or trade war. In addition to the USA (United States of America), Canada and Japan and Great Britain, the G-7 also consists of France, Germany and Italy. According to the latest data, their global GDP share is between 29 and 30%. BRICS was originally founded by Brazil, Russia, India and China, and later South Africa joined them. The name of the economic group is also made up of the initials of the names of the BRICS member states. Recently, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Indonesia have also joined them. In addition, BRICS also has partner countries such as Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, T...

Iz njihovih začetnic poimenovanja držav članic BRICS pa je sestavljeno tudi poimenovanje gospodarskega združenje. V zadnjem času pa so se jim pridružile tudi Egipt, Etiopija, Iran, Združeni arabski emirati in Indonezija. Poleg tega imajo BRICS tudi partnerske države kot so Belorusija, Bolivija, Kuba,...

The Mask of Civilization and the Fragility of Morality

  Although modern society teaches us ethics, empathy, and respect for other people's property, these values often seem to be just a thin layer of varnish over our primary nature. In stable times, this "mask of civilization" holds up, as the system provides us with security and predictability. But when the foundations are shaken — be it an economic crisis, political instability, or personal failure — the line between mine and yours begins to blur. The problem arises when the illegal becomes socially acceptable, if only it is "inventive" enough. In the modern world, theft no longer occurs simply through breaking into a store, but through complex financial fraud, circumvention of laws, and exploitation of systemic loopholes. This "white collar" form of illegality may be less brutal than physical destruction, but it is essentially the same: it involves the appropriation of other people's labor for the sake of one's own greed.
