A talk about that thing called "economia"

Author

Abstract
It’s some time since the ensemble of the economical activities, namely the "system" of creating welfare once described as the "capitalistic production system", is now arousing criticism also in those who still are its supporters, despite of the enormous results reached in terms of welfare spreading. This criticism concerns two distinctive aspects: the disparity increase between "first" and "third" world and the excessive relevance on quantitative and measurable life aspects compared to the qualitative ones, known in the common language as "values". This analysis aims to uphold that this situation does not depend as much on the particular "production system" as on the fact that, if the economy in its aspect of existential "activity" tends to be economy by respecting its finality of wealth creator, then it necessarily has to come into conflict with the other two "practices" forming the framework of every social system, politics and ethic, and this same conflict will become more sharp if the economy appears as the winning "practice".
