Abstract
I like to think like this: human beings have always tried to organize themselves to better face the various challenges, to solve the various problems of survival, depending on the circumstances, applying criteria of collaboration or competition for resources that can be limited or renewable, material or immaterial. I mean, human beings are characterized by a spontaneous connatured tendency to improve their condition – (otherwise, I suppose, we wouldn’t be here today, since out ancestors would be already perished in some merciless tribal vendetta). In this way, since the primordial times, the societies have gone from an economy of mere exploitation of resources, human and natural, from a commandeering economics, from a predatory politics, in which the war for resources is a way to survive, to a more efficient life, developing gradually codes, techniques, values, ways of communicate, which allow an economy of collaboration, innovation, value creation, inducing and requiring increasingly complex relationships, specialization, work understood as a commitment, not as the mere execution of a task
