Tata Nano: Classic example of Social Capitalism
Around 6 billion human populations on this earth have been getting accustomed with the lifestyle of "Globalisation" and "Liberalisation". It is being one decade now that we have transformed our society in to "Global capital economy". Culture of liberalisation has almost concurred each and every part of globe. This has shown our commitment towards "Capitalism" i.e. Gray capitalism. Now a day it is very difficult to find out the monuments of Socialism. The hypothesis of Socialism has been proved "null & void".
We have been nurturing the era of "Globalisation" forgetting the basic instinct of "Socialism". This is because of our bad experience with pseudo socialistic states in the past. The mistakes done by the renowned orator of Socialism in the modern history of mankind has put the global human society in difficult situation to think about it. The present threat to the emerging global society demands us to integrate the "Global society" to Social Capitalism. The emergence of Global terrorism, Inter ethnic and Intra ethnic conflict, unsocial cyber technology, Natural and Manmade disaster is definitely targeting the peace and dignity of today's "Global society". Integration of "Social capitalism" is the only way to groom this Global society in peaceful and dignified way, where each and every production is socially accepted, each and every enterprise is socially distributed and each and every technology is socially harmless.
The "Nano episode" is classic exapmple to understand the need of Social capitalism to day. Nano a product for lower middle class to satisfy thier thirst for Social status and the land for production plant has not been transfered by the agrarian society of Singur. The product was rejected by the contemporary agrarian society of Singur with a chaotic indulgence of Politicians. The product,production process and infrastructure has never been processed under the Paradigm of Social Capitalism and result is in front of all of us. Now it is very difficult for TATA to made available "Nano" with in One lakh. The product is virtually rejected by one of the group of our society which was intended to satisfy the need of another group of our society. This is what Social Capitalism bestows i.e. "Each and every product in global market is only acceptable, profitable and sustainable when the process of designing , planning , costing , marketing , distribution and consumption is facilitating harmony between atleast two diffenrent Social groups on the Globe". A product brought by any capitalist defying this harmonious relation will be a conflicting product and will incurr loss in present global market in terms of Conflict , War , Terror , Indignity and Distrust. The state has to invest in multifold of the cost of this particular product to nutralise the conflict arised by this product. That is why the cost of the product is very high in terms of Social cost and profit will be miniscule.
Nano was not able to establish relation between two different groups and hence Social cost of this product is very high in terms of Loss of life and Violent conflict.
"Today we need to groom globalisation in a social way where each and every enterprise , product , technology and policies synergises with the sustainability of each and every ethnic groups round the globe and create capital to the global society by natural consume. Natural consumer will be the only one basic capital of the Social capitalism which will sustain the peaceful, dignified and participatory growth of Global capital". This natural consumer is the answers to the inflammation global terrorism, conflict and cyber crime. The netizens of globalisation are becoming so artificial that existence of present society at the stake. Present globalisation has only been creating artificial short term consumer. The expanding number of the artificial consumer is not sustaining the peace, dignity and environment on earth.
We should take immediate initiative to frame the logic of "Social capitalism" as soon as possible; otherwise it is going to be very late.
We cannot held Bin laden or Al quaeda responsible for the present terrorism on this earth, this is the mass of illusionary and artificial product and consumer which is creating global terrorism and violence every where.
"Globalisation" is basically ""Communisation" where each and every community is capital and each and every enterprise and product of entire existing communities on this earth will be known to each and every existing communities of this planet. This is happening already, only we need to recognise this and formalise this in our enterprises, product and practices by transforming global market in to Social capital market.
Social capitalism does not demand for any kind of change in the present social, political and economical structure. Social capitalism can only be achieved through "Inter" and "Intra" structural changes and global recognition. The present ongoing negotiations on WTO & GATT should be replaced by "Global recognition on Social capitalism".
Let us initiate this transformation by mass reflection.
