ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents the cases of China and India that are more difficult to explain. It has suggested that there is a tendential rational direction to world history grounded in institutionally enabled and facilitated existential security and trust toward global Keynesianism, global social justice and global democracy. The overall argument is that holoreflexivity is the next rational step in the mutually reinforcing processes of complexification and increasing reflexivity, and that there is a real tendency toward that direction. Three elements of rationality that constitute movement toward holoreflexivity and global Keynesianism, justice and democracy, are discussed. Holoreflexivity is the next rational step in the processes of complexification and increasing reflexivity, and that there is a real tendency towards that direction.
