Conclusions of this tentative first approach recommend intervening with priority by improving: promotion of common norms and values assumption (justice, love, respect, etc.); regulation of markets, finance transactions, etc.; social security nets existence and effectiveness (poor's help); global and local laws existence and effectiveness; investment (capital accumulation); promotion of adaptability and mental ability in workers; and reducing average customs duty.
