However, in the face of a crisis of this magnitude, many countries lack the mechanisms and experience to manage these expenditures more efficiently, inclusively and effectively in the long term. At the same time, the risk exists that the dominant p…

What keeps societies together? What identifies and motivates people to coexist voluntarily without the need for permanent external coercion or immediate material interest?
