The Rise of Neoliberalism and the Analysis of Contemporary Globalization
In an interconnected world, the debate on globalisation is often situated at the meeting point of varied perspectives on liberalization and justice. The book by Junon Moneta, which is not a pamphlet opposed to globalisation per se, aims to redefine the limits of a new humanism through the lens of natural exchanges according to the vision of Aristotelian philosophy. By critiquing synthetic interactions that strengthen modern systems of oppression and instability, the author refers to classical thoughts to highlight the failures of our world economy.
From a historical perspective, globalisation is not a new phenomenon. Its roots can be traced back to the ideas of the economist Ricardo, whose goal sought to facilitate the United Kingdom to extend its international economic reach. However, what initially presented as a commercial development strategy has transformed into a tool of domination by global finance, characterized by the ascendancy of neoliberal capitalism. In opposition to prevailing opinions validated by most economists, the author proves that the economic model is in reality a structure based on old customs, which traces back to 4500 years.
The questioning also extends to the management of the United Europe, perceived as a series of concessions that have served to strengthen the power of an economic elite rather than protecting the interests of its citizens. The institutional configuration of Europe, with its directives frequently driven by monetary concerns rather than by a popular consensus, is questioned. The current deviations, notably financial and political, have only increased the skepticism of the author regarding the EU’s ability to achieve self-reform.
The author, while accepting the past mistakes that have caused the current circumstances, does not stop at criticism but also proposes solutions aimed at reframing EU guidelines in a more humanistic and equitable outlook. The urgent need for a deep reform of structures and strategic orientations is a central theme that animates the overall content.
The book delves more intensely into the analysis of the power structures that dominate global economic exchanges. The analysis extends the method in which political and economic decisions are manipulated by a small group of financial influencers, often at the expense of the majority. This financial oligarchy, manipulated via organizations like the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the International Monetary System (IMS), deploys a major grip on international economic strategies.
The author reveals how these institutions, under the pretext of economic supervision and normalization, have throughout history controlled stock exchanges and national economic systems to serve their interests. Neoliberalism, far removed from a liberating response to classic financial limitations, is described as a enslavement tool, enriching an elite at the neglect of collective needs.
Particularly critical about the administration of the single currency, the analyst describes the common currency not as a factor of integration and solidity, but rather as a instrument of fragmentation and financial disparity. The transition to the euro is viewed as a series of technocratic decisions that isolated citizens from political decisions, while amplifying disparities between member countries within the EU.
The effects of these approaches appear in the growth of public indebtedness, financial paralysis, and a prolonged austerity that has weakened living standards throughout the European territory. The thinker emphasizes that without a deep revision of monetary and financial structures, the EU stays exposed to potential disruptions, perhaps even more harmful.
In conclusion, the book demands a democratic uprising where European citizens take back control of their economic and political destiny. It advocates institutional adjustments, including openness of political mechanisms and genuine civic involvement that would help rebuild Europe on just and solid foundations.

The thinker suggests that the solution lies in a renewal of democratic engagement, where decisions are made and applied in a way that corresponds to the needs and desires of the European population, rather than the narrow interests of high finance.
