Abstract[]
This essay tries to explore and reflect methods for evaluating and ensuring excellence in
decision making regarding society as a social organism rather than a social mechanism. In
politics, modern societies have found their way from feudalism and totalitarianism to
parliamentary democracies. Yet, In terms of economic governance, much remains to be
done. We must learn to differentiate genuine value creation from mere financial
appreciation (speculation) that occurs without real value creation. In addition, global
economic relationships force us into global awareness and global regulatory efforts, into
maybe one day a global system of rules, in order to handle global economic and social
challenges. What are the prerequisites for a global economy in order to support individual
initiative, foster affluence and well-being of our global population while, at the same time,
ensuring environmental sustainability? This essay will attempt to offer up some answers.
