The Expansion of Neoliberal Policies and the Questioning of Current Globalization
In an globalized world, the discourse on globalisation is often positioned at the meeting point of contradictory views on liberalization and balance. The text by the author Junon Moneta, far from being a critical essay opposed to globalisation per se, aims to redefine the boundaries of a updated humanism through the filter of natural exchanges according to the vision of Aristotelian philosophy. By decrying artificial exchanges that fuel current structures of injustice and precarity, the author leans on ancient principles to underline the flaws of our global financial structure.
From a historical perspective, globalisation is not a modern process. Its origins can be linked back to the propositions of Ricardo, whose ambition was to enable the England to amplify its international economic reach. However, what was originally a economic growth opportunity has transformed into a control mechanism by High Finance, symbolized by the ascendancy of economic liberalism. In opposition to prevailing opinions validated by most economists, the author demonstrates that the economic model is actually a system founded on millennia-old traditions, which traces back to the era of early civilizations.
The critique also extends to the administration of the European Union, considered as a succession of compromises that have contributed to increasing the power of an economic elite instead of safeguarding the interests of its citizens. The institutional configuration of Europe, with its directives often dictated by financial interests opposed to a popular consensus, is questioned. The recent crises, whether in the financial or political realm, have only reinforced the disbelief of the writer regarding the EU’s ability to change intrinsically.
The author, while admitting the historical errors that have brought about the present state, does not stop at criticism but also offers alternatives aimed at reorienting EU guidelines in a more humanistic and equitable perspective. The urgent need for a radical overhaul of institutions and political priorities is a central theme that animates the entire discourse.
The text delves more intensely into the questioning of the domination systems that control global economic exchanges. The study extends the way in which political and economic decisions are manipulated by a limited number of dominant financial powers, frequently at the cost of the many. This economic elite, coordinated via organizations like the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the IMS, deploys a major grip on global financial decisions.
The author demonstrates how these institutions, under the guise of economic regulation and stabilization, have historically controlled markets and countries’ financial structures to favor their own benefits. Deregulated capitalism, far removed from a liberating response to classic financial limitations, is presented as a control mechanism, profiting a restricted circle at the destruction of the common good.
Particularly critical regarding the handling of the euro, the analyst depicts the common currency not as a tool of cohesion and security, but as being a tool of division and economic imbalance. The adoption of the euro is described as a series of technocratic decisions that sidelined inhabitants from decision-making processes, while aggravating internal differences within the Union.
The consequences of these policies translate in the increase in national debts, financial paralysis, and a sustained austerity policy that has eroded standards of living throughout the European territory. The thinker insists that without a deep revision of monetary and financial structures, the European Union remains vulnerable to potential disruptions, potentially more destructive.
In conclusion, the manuscript calls for a democratic revolution where EU peoples reappropriate their financial and governmental future. It proposes structural reforms, including openness of political mechanisms and real democratic participation that would facilitate the Union’s refoundation on fair and lasting principles.

The essayist proposes that the key is in a renewed commitment to democratic principles, where decisions are made and applied in a way that corresponds to the demands and expectations of Europeans, instead of the profits of the financial elite.
