Social management and the social economy on the path to a socio-ecological future
There will still be few who deny or refuse to acknowledge that serious changes are taking place around us. Changes that are more than just regionally and sectorally limited structural changes. Changes that are of existential importance for humanity. Our societies are facing historical responsibilities on a global scale.
It is time to take stock of whether we are on the right path or whether the major transformations can still take place without a majority awareness and direction that find and form their majorities in the process. There is no doubt that our societies are on the way to a new era of humanity. The question arises as to whether we have also defined sufficient answers and contributions for further socio-economic development. Without these contributions, the challenges will lead to an even greater (and all-endangering) social divide.
There is a great danger that we will not recognize the opportunities for a social restructuring of our societies and will instead be too preoccupied with ourselves and our structural shortcomings, failures and looking back to the past to be able to think about a different future. For some time now, many in many branches of science have been thinking about whether the way we deal with the world, with ourselves as a global society, has (deserved) a future at all. If our stocks of knowledge and drivers of innovation are sufficient, the social is always in competition with and in the shadow of technology and economics. This must change.
