 We need to abandon national rivalries for the time being and have a homogeneous and concerted global response to the pandemic that attacks both people’s health and the global economy. We are at a time when, over all the controversies related to the emergence and development of this pandemic, one thing is certain: it violently attacks both people’s health and the world economy. I usually say that the economy in the broad sense of the term is like the armor of a knight, made up of links or in other words small or large individual entities linked together. The resistance of the whole depends on each of them. The life behind them depends on how they manage to cooperate.   This is why we need a solution adapted to such a blow. Of course, there are areas that have suffered less and others that suffer more, just as there are areas that are strongly accelerated by the current crisis. However, the feeling of unpredictability and insecurity will affect consumption to such an extent that without concerted and intelligent action, everyone will lose sooner or later.   A solution that leaves no one behind is the kind of solution that can be successful in overcoming such a crisis situation. A homogeneous and concerted response at the global level, in which we abandon national rivalries for the moment, is the one expected from a species that considers itself above the others and that challenges nature itself to competition.  There is great global pressure at the moment and the pandemic is just one of them. Will humanity manage to avoid the “trap of Thucydides” \u2013 as Graham Allison describes it \u2013 generated by the rivalry and potential overtaking of the US as an economic power by China? Will humanity succeed in mastering the transition from analog to digital and further to artificial intelligence? Will humanity succeed in generating a global context in which we can live without racial differences and cultural and religious oppression? What effect does it have on the planet that two people who would finish their octogenarian term are fighting for the most important global function? Legitimate questions for any inhabitant of the planet, questions that do not seem to concern the current leaders more than a discussion over tea… Every business has its relevance in the complex system of the world economy and we must each be responsible for our businesses, whether we run them or are shareholders or work there. Of course, coordinated support from states is likely to support our efforts, but no one has a greater responsibility than us in managing the crisis, taking the necessary measures, protecting and acting courageously and responsibly.       We are aware that there is no protection promised by anyone in the face of such crises and that is why it is extremely important to be aware of and act courageously and consistently towards the values that we have so often used, especially for image promotion. The time has come when we have to prove that we really believe in these values, that we have the strength to act in line with them! I sincerely believe that this is the way and I am optimistic that especially those companies that are consistent with the purpose for which they were created and with the real values that animated them will be able to come out stronger from this ordeal.   As with any attack, very important for survival and to finish victorious is the way you prepare and execute your counterattack. We should not stand prostrate in the way of this treacherous virus either, and the path to finding a vaccine at best solves the fight against Sars-CoV-2 and not in general the fight against these ruthless viral agents. I believe that first of all, we have a lot to learn from the mistakes we have made, and I am referring first of all to the way we have treated nature and the feeling that we are above it.   Then I think we need to understand that the pace of continuous acceleration and running away from ourselves is not a panacea, that we need to find other ways and economic engines. Last but not least, we have the chance to correct mistakes now, when the pace slows down, when the fear of image fades, it is time for great corrections. In this way we should come out stronger, more prepared, more aware. Although it is a life and death fight for some of us, courage and determination, but not unconsciousness and disrespect, will support us on our way forward.   We are fast approaching the end of a year that we will remember for generations to come. On the one hand, we do not see the full unfolding of the damage already produced, on the other hand, a new year full of unpredictability awaits us. The usual holiday hustle and bustle may turn into silence and even loneliness, family visits in virtual friendships and empty streets on New Year’s Eve, frustration instead of joy, stress instead of relaxation.   <\/p>\n\n
