The single idea of economy in which the
economic prevails over the political and the market solves all the problems of
the system in concurrence with competitiveness and free exchange, it cannot
currently give answers to the demands of a planetary society of 7,500 million
population. The most recent historical attempt to break with the current
inconvenience of the economy came from Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, one of the
most notable and profound thinkers of modern economy. He launched two critical
torpedoes to the current economy in his books Analytical Economics (1966) and
The Entropy Law and Economic Process (1971), in which he focuses current
economic problems on the divorce between economic theories and the enforcement
of the laws of nature.
For single-minded economists everything is a cycle of
production and consumption, but for nature it does not constitute a cycle, it
is only a one-way waste of energy and non-renewable natural resources in the time
they are consumed. Ultimately, he envisioned a globalized world in which both,
the economy and the environment would drift and only with the emergence of
technologies capable of transforming nature lost patterns could be restored and
life on earth possible. This is how in 1973 modern biotechnology emerged and in
1974 nanotechnology. The responses of both in areas such as food, energy,
health and the environment, gradually gave rise to their respective economies,
the bioeconomy and the nanoeconomy. Today we can define the real
bioeconomy as an economy based on biotechnology, capable of generating
renewable natural resources in time and form with its collection of 65 million
genes, and genetic engineering to respond to socioeconomic needs, such as demand
for energy, food, decrease in health and environmental care expenses, in turn
generating work and income in a sustainable way. The logic of the word economy
seems to indicate a succession, after macro and microeconomics, towards a
nanoeconomy; that is to say, to the study of the economy from the smallest
link, from the daily small, an economy centered on the individual and on the
needs of daily economic events. Summarizing. We can present the nanoeconomy as
an economy built on the needs of the daily activities of the 7.5 billion people
in the world, instead of the result of the actions of countries or companies.
Nothing is as heterogeneous as providing answers to the daily economy of 7.5
billion people, nothing more complex than the number of possible combinations
of existing atoms and molecules. Bioeconomy is capable of subordinating the
economy to laws of nature, the nanoeconomy subordinates the construction of the
economic world to the needs of each individual on the planet. It is a difficult
construction, even more when no attempt was ever made to “visualize everyone”
from the single thought economy, but it is possible and no more difficult than
the nanotechnological constructions that are feasible and in continuous development today. The
bioeconomy and nanoeconomy from their productive capacity have originated the
economy of new technologies; from the atom and the gene towards an economy
conditioned only by nature and the needs of living beings. This leads to do the
unfeasible viable and each area of the planet can develop and live
harmoniously without the need for large natural resources.
The recent pandemic put a stop to globalization and
also to the increase in pollution. Countries closed, mass production stopped,
energy consumption fell and even less pollution is noted. The recent pandemic
put a stop to globalization and also to the increase in pollution. It is time
for local, not global, development. The tools are in , it is the right time to
change from the economy of globalization to the economy of new technologies
centered on the person and nature.
