In the global environment of trade and commerce, humankind appears to have given up its natural journey of progression to improve the social order and universally accepted capitalism. But, whilst the richest continue to accumulate vast amounts of wealth, inequality grows and the poorest still live in extreme poverty. This passionate, academic study will go on to present that socialism is just another means of enslaving society under the capitalist model. So, is there a new social, political, and economic arrangement that fits the twenty-first century reality? Ethosism looks at the fact that in the twenty-first century more people than ever before have the means to acquire and own their means of engagement, participation, or involvement in an enterprise. As the result, capitalism, socialism, and communism have lost their raison d'etres.

As the result, capitalism, socialism, and communism have lost their raison d'etres.

By examining the foremost upheavals of the twenty-first century, wealth inequality and climate change, plus social class conflicts resulting from the paradigm shift, my conviction is that we are in dire need of a morales nuvem consensus which will herald new social, commerce, intermerce, and political covenants that will enable us to successfully traverse the twenty-first century and beyond.

Stephanie Jane recenzis Ethosism de Jo M. Sekimonyo

Passionate philosophy

3 steloj

Ethosism is an extremely passionate philosophy book which explores how the main political-economic systems across the globe - capitalism, fascism, communism and socialism - have brought us to our current state of a world nearing resource exhaustion and collapse. I appreciated Sekimonyo's explanations of how these economic theories were first encapsulated during the industrial revolution and Victorian eras and how they are, therefore, no longer useful for the twenty-first century. Communism and socialism seem to have had their times, with capitalism being the favoured system now, but Sekimonyo ably shows how its inherent inequalities render capitalism unfit for purpose for the vast majority of people. Only those few able to expend vast amounts of money and energy shoring up the system will benefit. The historical and global survey was interesting as I was shown capitalism from a very different perspective.

I agreed strongly with a lot of what Sekimonyo has …

I agreed strongly with a lot of what Sekimonyo has to say, once I had managed to understand his thoughts. I liked the inclusion of so many apt quotes from a wide variety of great thinkers, several of who were new names to me. Unfortunately however, Ethosism is written mostly in quite intense and scholarly language (albeit with a smattering of crassness) which had me reaching for my dictionary several times on each page. This made the book hard going for me, but I persevered because I was particularly interested in discovering what Sekimonyo's alternative would be. I was disappointed therefore that Ethosism itself didn't seem to be explained in anywhere near the same depth of detail. I think I understood that it entailed people being able to run their own affairs without recourse to any political system enforced by a government, but I couldn't understand how this would be achieved in actuality so I felt somewhat let down at the end of it all.
