Abstract: Economic globalization, based on the dominant liberal analysis, has not suppressed conflicts and economic wars. Private interests have gained more political importance in economic life and they influence the behaviour of states. The precariousness of the employees, the rise of different forms of poverty, the assistance reduced to the most destitute constitute new human situations that the global increase of wealth can not justify. The pillars of capitalism are private property, self-interest, competition, a market mechanism, the freedom of choice in terms of consumption, production and investment and the limited role of public authorities. The public authorities protect the private interests of the richest. Interstate bodies serve the main purpose of maintaining liberalism, multinational enterprises have more income and wealth than most developing countries, and inequalities are justified only by a system of value that is at least questionable. The undivided rule of the powers of the market economy is a factor of increasing poverty and precariousness for the excluded and the salaried, threatened by unemployment and competition with machines. States refer to GDP as a religion, without questioning its content and distribution. Another conception of collective growth should be put in place, taking into account the wellbeing and human development of all citizens.
