Chaos theory, Hegelian dialectics and the world economic crisis. The article concludes:
“One of the properties of chaos and organisation theory is that we can’t possibly know what the new system might be. It is frequently the opposite of the previous one. In Hegelian terms, this is the dialectic nature of growth and development, where the current stage in the spiral of development is replaced at a higher stage with its dialectically opposite. The next stage completely negates the previous one, while completely resolving all of its problems. Later, the new system reaches a crisis once again, and it seemingly reverts to its previous stage of development, however at a new, higher level.
In this sense, it is very likely that the collapse of the dollar will be most likely replaced by a new and better system. However, according to the Hegelian dialectic approach, gold — the antithesis of paper money — may once again return as global money, since gold has been sufficiently displaced as money since 1971. It may well be that gold is the money of our future.”
