Abstract: Abstract Under the influence of JM Keynes’s writings, beginning from his 1925 essay The End of Laisse-Faire, economics was transformed into a tool that all governments in the Western world came to use to manage the economy, nationally and internationally. Subsequently, the contribution describes how these policies led to a close cooperation between the USA and Europe but also to the isolation of Russia owing to the Cold War and the ‘special operation’ of Russia in the Ukraine. Lastly, it deals with block-forming in the world as a necessary precondition to move forward to a stable and durable existence.
