Despite the need for large financial injections, which the world economy requires to overcome the crisis, and the violent emotions among the states of the Euro-Atlantic space that this process causes in politicians of different aspirations, it seems unlawful to neglect the Anglo-Saxon system.
Speculative hype and endless cartoon lending are not purely American features of the economy and the Anglo-Saxon model of market civilization. They developed against the background of accelerated growth of the international economy and the inconsistency of the world economic order. The latter might have functioned with less interruptions if new players had not appeared in the world markets (CIS, Baltic and Balkan countries) and large states, especially China and India, had not become more active.
Humanity entered the 21st century divided into civilizations and cultures. Despite the traditional view that they do not affect economic development and well-being, it has now become obvious that this is not the case. The economic activity of mankind and culture are not just interconnected. This connection is decisively determined by the most important asymmetries of the global economy, and, above all, wealth and poverty. The globalization of economic integration has become an irreversible process, and at the same time it changes and even breaks historically established cultural traditions and stereotypes of social behavior. Therefore, there are sufficient grounds to consider the current crisis not so much as a financial or broader economic one, but mainly as a socio-cultural one, that is, a civilizational one.
Logically, the conclusion appears from here that the usual explanations of today's problems of economic turmoil by the imbalance of the economy, overproduction, financial "bubbles" cannot be perceived as such, which fully reveal its causes and can be taken as the basis for action.
If we agree that the development of the world economy at the end of the XX - beginning of the XXI century needs significant changes in the international economic order, then the primordial question arises "What to do"? When searching for an answer to it, it is necessary to start with the fact that new processes, especially crisis ones, reflect a systemic phenomenon - a civilizational and cultural crisis. Accordingly, world players must implement reforms on an international scale, based on the fact that international economic relations (primarily commodity-monetary relations), which have been formed by mankind throughout conscious history, are subject to renewal.
The planetary and intercivilizational interweaving of crisis perceptions prompted developed countries to change the usual formula for their collective solution. At first, the 0-7 seven states expanded their circle to 0-8 by inviting Russia to their meetings, and at the end of 2008 they switched to the 0-20 format. Today, "twenty" consists of Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, Italy, Canada, China, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the USA, Turkey, France, Germany, Japan, and the European Union. Taking into account the EU countries that are not separately represented in the twenty, these are 42 countries.
There are sufficient grounds to assert that the world economic order in the current conditions requires the development of new forms of development of economic relations at the junction of civilizations. The former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Gordon Brown, formulated the current conditions for finding optimal economic solutions in this way: "World problems cannot be solved within the framework of the Big Eight. It is necessary to expand the dialogue by involving Eastern European and African countries. It is necessary to update global financial institutions;
It would be a big mistake in forming a new economic order to leave the premise of ousting the United States from the leadership pedestal or from the burial of Euro-Atlantic civilization. To assess the current situation, it is inappropriate to draw an analogy with Ancient Rome, which collapsed, weakened and disappeared at the height of its glory. Rome was based on military force - it is easy to lose it. The United States is supported by the strength of the dollar and the accumulation of global finance. The fall of the latter lowers the value of all global assets and liabilities. In other words, the crisis does not change the balance of economic forces. In addition, it is the countries that represent the Euro-Atlantic civilization that have proved able to find reserves to overcome the crisis not only for their economies, but also for the economies of countries of other civilizations.
Hopes for the collapse of the Euro-Atlantic civilization are not only erroneous, but also harmful. If such a thing had happened, the consequences could have been irreparable. Humanity would expect chaos, which has not happened yet, because no civilization has yet shown great economic resilience. Indicative is the global economic crisis of the 30s of the last century, which most painfully affected the United States, and the Americans' exit from it thanks to the policy of the "new deal". Undoubtedly, the recovery of the US economy contributed decisively to the end of the global economic crisis of those times.
Therefore, it is impossible to destroy the Euro-Atlantic civilization without rejecting the world during the Roman Empire, and possibly later. Its achievements should be adopted as widely as possible, improving the weak elements. Human development in the future will take place not on the ruins of the Euro-Atlantic civilization, but thanks to its further progress.
