There is no recipe to predict crises or the way theywill manifest and there are no two crises alike, but the latest researches in the area relate crises with the value scalehuman-beings have, scale that has completely deteriorated during the last century. Human-beings and their needshave to become the centre of research and interest and economy must function for people and in their good interest.The current economic and financial crises is in fact a moral crises caused by dehumanization and loss of interest inothers, by focusing on our own goals no matter what sacrifices are made around us to achieve them, or the coststhat others have to pay for the welfare of those interested.
