The underlying premise of the book is that the contemporary world finds itself in what may well be the most confused age of human history. Growing technological changes and innovation make it difficult to understand the course of social reality, while the intensification of the relations between different regions of the Earth and the power achieved by financial capital on a world scale amplify the dimensions and visibility of disequilibria and iniquities, and sharpen frustration and sentiments of insecurity. Social thought, as it has developed at the service of a quasi-stationary world, lacks the ability to understand and govern the tumultuous economic and social processes in progress. The most efficacious way to meet this fleeting social reality is to scientifically highlight basic institutions and values and their steady changes caused by the accumulation of creative and choice processes. In doing so, long-run trends can be explored in order to understand and manage the disequilibrating-reequilibrating motion characterizing the life of dynamic societies. This book shows the ?necessity? of institutional and ethical transformations utilizing an utopian flavour. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Sociology,$x2212-6368 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aSociology 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W46000 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aSociology. 615 14$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aPolitical Economy/Economic Systems. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aSociology, general. 676 $a300 700 $aFusari$b Angelo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0965690 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253344803321 996 $aUnderstanding the Course of Social Reality$92519192 997 $aUNINA
