Abstract
In this troubled world of much noise and low light, I think we should focus on values that made prosperous and rich the Western world. I wrote the text below to focus on values that have proved valid along time. I am pleased to offer these ideas for discussion. Comments are welcome. The thoughts below are focused on 3 tragedies of human civilization: in Syria, in the USA and in Brazil. I seek to find a common denominator between them, pointing out to the origin of the spurious relationship of politics and economics and the futility of the intervention of Governments. The proposed solution is based on a new Social Pact where is predominant the philosophy of the Austrian economic theory, and discarded into the trash of history is the Keynesian influence. My insertion of quotes from wise thinkers throughout the text aims to take advantage of the experience of scholars and statesmen – they had circumstantial reasons to summarize their rich experiences in a few words, and that should serve as a compass for generations to come. I strongly believe that "The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future." (The U.S. National Archives, Washington DC)
