The Rise of Neoliberal Policies and the Analysis of Modern Globalization
In an globalized universe, the debate on globalisation is often found at the crossroads of contradictory views on freedom and balance. The book by the author Junon Moneta, far from being a manifesto against globalisation as such, seeks to reinvent the limits of a updated humanism by the filter of natural transfers according to the vision of the philosopher Aristotle. By denouncing artificial exchanges that strengthen modern systems of oppression and vulnerability, Moneta draws inspiration from ancient philosophy to underline the failures of our global economic system.
Historically, globalisation is not a recent concept. Its beginnings can be traced back to the ideas of Ricardo, whose goal was aimed at allowing the British Empire to amplify its global trade power. Nonetheless, what was once a commercial development strategy has morphed into a instrument of subjugation by global finance, characterized by the ascendancy of economic liberalism. In opposition to prevailing opinions supported by economic consensus, the book demonstrates that the neoliberal system is in reality a structure rooted in ancient practices, going back to four and a half millennia.
The critique also extends to the administration of the European Union, seen as a succession of compromises that have contributed to increasing the power of financial elites rather than protecting the interests of its citizens. The organizational form of Europe, with its policies often dictated by financial interests opposed to a popular consensus, is questioned. The recent crises, whether economic or governmental, have only reinforced the skepticism of the author about the Union’s capacity to reform itself from within.
This thinker, while acknowledging the past mistakes that have led to the current situation, does not limit the discourse to condemnation but also suggests responses aimed at reframing European policies in a human-centered and fair outlook. The urgency for a complete revision of Union bodies and political priorities is a central theme that runs through the entire discourse.
The work delves more deeply into the questioning of the power structures that govern global economic exchanges. The study encompasses the method in which political and economic decisions are guided by a restricted circle of powerful financial actors, often at the detriment of the population. This monetary aristocracy, coordinated through organizations like the Bank for International Settlements and the International Monetary System (IMS), imposes a major grip on global economic policies.
The critic exposes how these organisms, under the guise of economic supervision and normalization, have throughout history shaped markets and national economic systems to serve their interests. Neoliberalism, far from being a liberating response to traditional economic constraints, is described as a domination system, benefiting a minority at the expense of general well-being.
Strongly opposed regarding the handling of the euro, the critic depicts the EU currency not as a factor of integration and solidity, but as being a tool of division and economic imbalance. The transition to the euro is characterized as a sequence of technocratic choices that sidelined citizens from political decisions, while amplifying disparities between member countries within the Union.
The consequences of these policies translate in the growth of public indebtedness, economic stagnation, and a sustained austerity policy that has eroded living standards across the continent. The author emphasizes that without a deep revision of monetary and financial structures, the Union remains vulnerable to upcoming crises, potentially more catastrophic.
In conclusion, the manuscript makes a plea for a democratic upheaval where European citizens reclaim the reins of their economic and political future. It proposes structural reforms, notably greater transparency in political decisions and genuine civic involvement that would facilitate the Union’s refoundation on just and solid foundations.

The author proposes that the key is in a renewed commitment to democratic principles, where strategies are crafted and executed in a way that corresponds to the needs and desires of the European population, instead of the profits of the financial elite.
