The fastest development of a social country, the most harmonious and stable society, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the best economic state of high growth, low inflation and low unemployment is the result of the joint action of a variety of social elements, fields, industries and industries. Talking about society is inseparable from the economic foundation, and the stability of economic development is closely related to the state of cultural ecology, and cultural ecology cannot exist in isolation from society.
As a person who studies economics and finance, including other industries, an important ideological cognitive bias is to overemphasize the importance of the industry, and fail to realize that the industry and even the person are social attributes, and they are inseparable from the whole of society for a moment. Billionaire Musk has always suggested that everyone must read more books and read a large number of books, with special emphasis on being familiar with history. This point is still a little surprising from Musk's mouth. I have also always believed in the extreme importance of familiarizing myself with history. For example, the extreme importance of cultural ecology to social economy is best exemplified by the United States in the late 19th century!
"Heroes of personal struggle"! Successful people "deserve it"; Wealth is a reward for those who deserve hard work; The losers deserve it, the result of their own laziness, stupidity and carelessness. A good American Protestant pastor said, "Let us remember that there is not a poor person in America who is not poor because of his weakness"! These ideas reinforced the social theory that prevailed at the end of the 19th century, social Darwinism, i.e. Charles Darwinism. Darwin's theory of evolution and the theory of natural selection of species is applied to human society. Just as the survival of the fittest is true in evolution, so is human society, where only the most powerful individuals can be invincible in the market. This kind of thought and philosophy became mainstream and filled the entire United States at that time.
Positive energy gives birth to the golden period of American development! The last 40 years of the 19th century were the golden age of American development, and everyone knew the oil magnate John . D. Rockefeller; Carnegie; Oil magnate and financier J.P. Morgan; automobile magnate Henry Ford; modern railway giant Cornelius Vanderbeerh and a number of other predators were born during this period. At the same time, airplanes, automobiles, railroads, etc. were either born in this period or developed rapidly in the United States. This period is recognized as the United States achieved what Britain achieved in 100 years in only half the time! This period was the first golden age of development after the American Civil War. There are many factors, among which ideological philosophy and positive energy culture play an important role.
Positive energy culture came into being, especially the positive energy mass culture model that penetrates deep among the people is widely disseminated and occupies the absolute mainstream consciousness of society! Horatio. Alger was born in 1832 into a middle-class family in New England and attended Harvard University. In the mid-50s of the 19th century he began to write novels and books until his death. Most of his works are written for young people, and almost all are fables of teenagers struggling from "cloth" to "rich". He once said that his creative purpose was twofold. He wanted to use his writing influence to show that hard work, ambition and honesty can lead to success through inspiring examples, and he also wanted to show his middle-class readers "the life of a lonely street child in the city." "Tom in Children's Shoes", "All Bets", "Jade in the Almshouse", "Fiddle the Violinist", "Andy. Grant's Courage" and so on.
During that period, Horatio . In total, Alger has written more than a hundred stories about ugly ducklings turning into white swans and children from the poor at the bottom achieving success through personal struggle. Horatio. Alger's works occupied almost the cultural reading market in the United States, especially young people at that time, and every young person could tell a story of personal struggle and success. The streets are talking about Horatio . The protagonist of Alger's novel. Success through personal hard work and hard work, became the mainstream of American youth in the late 19th century!
In Horatiow. Under the leadership of Alger, a group of other authors are creators who have invested in the main line of similar works. If you say Horatio . Alger's story of self-made, rich and poor shows the ambition of many young men in the late 19th century. Plums. Alcott's extremely best-selling novels expressed the ideals of many young women of the time.
The power of positive energy culture played an important role in the late 19th century, the golden age of American development, especially for the thinking of future generations of young people.
I remember that in the early 80s of the last century in the early 80s of the last century, the whole young people were studying mathematician Chen Jingrun, and I chose science for this reason. Science and technology are the primary productive forces deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and knowledge, culture, ideals and morality have become the life pursued by young people; Studying hard, being motivated, and doing great things have become the ideal of young people. You can see young people studying in public places such as buses, waiting rooms, parks, and walks. Can you say that this kind of mass consciousness, ideology and culture at that time did not play a subtle role in later development?
I have been thinking about a question: video games, martial arts novels, etc. occupy the mainstream of young people's entertainment ideology and culture, what will happen to this society? Successful people who have been digging their minds and digging the ground are not successful by personal struggle, but by relying on the "background" of catching wind and shadows, far-fetched, and using self-media to gain traffic and widely spread, what kind of impact and guidance will it have on young people in society? How serious is the widespread spread of lying flat and involution, and what effect will it have?
A person who studies economics and finance really says bad about this and cannot answer it. Just put forward the question for everyone to think about!
