Psychoeconomics: globalization, markets, crisis - стр. 44

– Given the high cost of a quality education, far from everyone will be able to acquire one.

These factors limit the ability of people from families with low incomes to compete against those with higher incomes, but they do not always temper their desire to elevate their status. Hence the discrepancy between social and sociopsychological structure becomes more and more pronounced.

Given the above, it is critical to understand the cyclical nature of the process by which the conflict between the social and sociopsychological structures of the society is exacerbated, and the remedy from this situation when there are no natural mechanisms for solving them. We even find examples of these measures in the pre-capitalism past of Europe. In the Middle Ages law formally limited the power of the strong and capable people without property, but in reality they could achieve whatever they wished. And they banded together for this cyclically. Today, law theoretically provides the opportunity to reach any heights in the socioeconomic structure of the society, but in actuality, this can be done by the very few, although millions wish to do so. And the cyclical nature of the growth of these wishes in the large mass of people is not annulled by contemporary mass media and other factors of the contemporary world order. Both in the Middle Ages and now, bringing the social and sociopsychological structures of the society into concordance by means of conflict-free means and measures was or became impossible. And the proneness to conflict is currently increasing. Because of globalization this is happening frequently in different countries with amazing synchronicity. For now this sociopsychological synchronicity is happening without the political unification of the “masses”. But this process will start very soon.

Therefore under globalization there will be synchronization of protests of the “masses” in those countries where economic crises have occurred, but this is a rather large group of countries. The world is integrated, everything is being synchronized. And we are witnesses of this process. These processes are related to the cyclical nature of the change in basic psychotypes of the population, the elite.

Confirmation of this idea is also possible through analyzing the results of IQ measurements in the representatives of different countries.
