(Sorry I like philosophy and art.)
Let’s talk about how hate and corruption affect society and economic development. Social and economic systems are deeply connected. Economics is really a measurement of choices, and those choices are shaped by our social values.

The Story of the Clan highlights how a society can split into two groups—an in-group and an out-group—and what consequences follow. When institutions or groups treat others differently, injustice grows, and both social and economic systems begin to degrade. This story helps us imagine what that breakdown might look like and how institutional failures, bias, and corruption can lead to long-term decline.

But the allegory has a silver lining and also shows the opposite: when divided groups come together around shared principles—like fairness, rights, shared futures—new value is created. Social cohesion strengthens economic resilience, sparks new knowledge, and encourages growth.

If institutions favor one religion, race, political identity, or group over another, unwritten rules begin to replace fair ones. Once that happens, the underlying economic assumptions shift. Patterns become harder to measure, and the risk of instability increases. It may not happen immediately, but the likelihood of economic and/or social disruption grows.

On the other hand, when society unites around shared values, exchange improves—both in speed and in quality. As a transactional process improving the efficiency and value of social exchanges among different people leads to value creation. Much like you would find if a new market was created except this one is right there in front of us but we struggle to see it as assumptions hold us back (Mirroring back sometmes leads to new information and minimization of assumptions that allow us to see new paths.) People share more knowledge, trust increases, and the overall economy benefits  Research supports this: stronger social trust leads to stronger economic performance. 

Perhaps our renaissance was infront of our face waiting to be tapped.

Trust is essential in any society. To build a stable future, we have to think beyond the present, consider the needs of the next generation, and bring people together around common principles. Doing so puts us in the best position to maximize human potential and support sustainable economic development. Any time you can improve an institutions performance around core values we should do so. There is a greater responsibility beyond the narratives of the day. 

Law should support the moral conscious of the heart.

*As a philosophical theoretical discussion you can adjust or change around the elements and come up with your own conclusion. There is no right or wrong answer but helpful and unhelpful ones. Take with a grain of salt.
