Ethno-Industrial Development (Era of Globalization)

The late 20th century witnessed a period of intense globalization, marked by increased interconnectedness and interdependence among nations. This era saw:

• Rise of Multinational Corporations: Companies expanded their operations across borders, seeking new markets and lower production costs.
• Global Supply Chains: Production processes became fragmented and distributed across different countries.
• Technological Advancements: Innovations in communication and transportation facilitated the movement of goods, capital, and information.
• Cultural Exchange: Increased interaction between different cultures led to the exchange of ideas, values, and lifestyles.

This period of ethno-industrial development, while bringing economic benefits, also led to concerns about job losses in developed countries, exploitation of workers in developing countries, and cultural homogenization.

Ethno-Cultural Development (Era of Anti-Globalization)

As the negative consequences of globalization became more apparent, a backlash emerged in the form of anti-globalization movements. This era was characterized by:

• Protectionist Sentiments: Concerns about job losses and unfair trade practices led to calls for protectionist measures.
• Cultural Preservation: Efforts to preserve local cultures and traditions gained momentum in response to fears of cultural homogenization.
• Rise of Populism: Political movements emphasizing national identity and sovereignty gained popularity.
• Social Fragmentation: Increased social and economic inequalities contributed to social fragmentation and polarization.

This period highlighted the need for a more balanced approach to globalization, one that addressed its negative consequences while preserving its benefits.

Call for a Radical Political Turn

The current world setting is marked by a growing recognition that the existing economic and political systems are unsustainable. There is a need for a radical political turn towards:

• Total Managed Markets: Greater government intervention in markets to address market failures and ensure equitable distribution of resources.
• Microeconomic Liberalization: Policies that promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and flexible work arrangements, such as multi-rostering.
• Sustainable Development: A shift towards a more sustainable economic model that prioritizes environmental protection and social well-being.

This calls for a fundamental rethinking of the role of government in the economy and a renewed focus on citizen well-being.

De-Industrialization, Heritagization, and Full Employment

The Free World Industrial Settlement engenders key themes of:

• De-industrialization: Traditional manufacturing industries are gradually replaced by knowledge-based industries and service sectors.
• Heritagization: Industrial heritage is preserved and celebrated as a reminder of past achievements and a source of inspiration for future generations.
• Full Employment: Microeconomic Liberalization and Multi-Roster create a dynamic and inclusive labor market that ensures full employment.

This model represents a paradigm shift from traditional industrial economies to a more sustainable and equitable model that prioritizes human well-being and cultural heritage.

From Globalization to the Free World Industrial Settlement

The Free World Industrial Settlement is the culmination of a series of historical events, from the era of globalization to the current call for a radical political turn. By embracing Full Employment Microeconomic Liberalization, technological advancements, and a renewed focus on Industrial Heritage and Industrial Inheritance of Humanity, this model offers a path towards a more sustainable, equitable, and fulfilling future for all.
