Abstract

This study postulates that nowadays there are two specially marked currents for the development such as "neo-modernity"
and "hypermodernity". It is considered that the first one has its clearest expression in the so-called Neoliberalism which is a
continuation or the rattles of the exploitative and capitalist industrial world. Furthermore, it is believed that actually is a
mercantilist liberalism because it lives on "lobbies" and approaches or "productive flirtations" of the economic power with
the political power (and even religious). The second one come out from a conception of the world, the man, his society and
culture and plural, which can coexist, live together and be respect, and that part of the "ideological corpse" of the
postmodernism and its postulates. It is not intended to be a communist socialism, but an equal opportunities for all and an
equality of remuneration for the work. In this framework, it develops a study on the endangered non-Western heritage (even
the western, but to a lesser extent) to succeed the first current mentioned previously ; it would be a world without memory and
whose future will remain the exploitation with other masks and the depressive, demotivating and boring mega-consumerism,
without identity or civic and national consciousness.
