This book traces the causes of the present crisis in the process of marketization that was initiated two centuries ago, the establishment of the market economy system and the present growth economy. What marks the very foundation of every aspect of the current crisis is the concentration of power in the hands of various elites. The internationalization of today's market economy has caused significant changes in the world's economic and political structures and only furthered the concentration of economic and political power. The solution to the problem of concentration of power cannot be found inside the system that created it - the mark.
