World economy is RUN by Fear and fear creates competation its a fact

[Iamgoat]

Competition is part of human existence and just like politics we cant move away from thos realities of human existence, whatever habe political or economic power or even technology, it definitely will be under competitions and the leading figures in such sectors will definitely want to control and block other competitors from succeeding easily.

Yes, and personally I don’t see what’s wrong or alien about being scared of something. It is just a natural expression given to something especially when you do not have a full knowledge and understanding about the particular thing you are scared about. I believe fear is a natural phenomenon which occurs when someone is unsure of a certain decision they want to take and are scared if it won’t lead a positive outcome. Once you know your situation and the task you intend to carry out, it is usually easier for you to achieve your goal and do it fearlessly.

[Oasisman]

Well, while most of the above in the OP are true, but that's not how things always work. Fear doesn't necessarily mean someone would be willing to take a risks and increase the level of competition, like going for a price wars, overproduction, and hastily decisions. These are all the product of fear, and the one who fear the most will most likely to fail. Other people have completely different approach when they are afraid or having anxiety over everything, they tend to get stuck from where they are right now, because they are too afraid to step out of their comfort room and make changes.

Some people established innovative steps and strengthen their capabilities to compete with others and from the potential competitors, not because they are afraid of them, but because they want to secure whatever is ahead of them. There might be a little anxiety on top of it, but it's not complete fear, because fear tends to create bad decisions, and again, bad decisions leads to failure.

Some people/groups tends to resort to violence when they are too afraid of their competitors.

So, every person do have different approach with fear. Some creates healthy competition, and some can't handle it well and end up being in a bad spot.

Its fact that we all got fear....main fears, what if i run out of money, i lose business, i lose customers, i lose job not enough food, not enough skills , what if someone make better business.
So FEAR is transfered from indviduals to groups and groups formed nations and countries and corporations....MONOPOLY is established out of fear.

Fear is useful that way, as a means of preparing you to come up with better quality products, business modules and better means to reach out to those needing and using your product. It dares you to be creative and meet up with the competition else, you lose your customers to a closely related brand.

Fear could possibly bring about monopoly where, certain brands pay for a license to enable them be the sole distributor of certain commodities and trying to get into such fields requires a permit from them having such rites but, these haven’t being very helpful to an economy. It’s not the best way to apply fear I think.

[slapper]

Is it actually fear though? Or just how competition works when you only have a limited amount of resources and everyone wants more of it? Fear implies irrationality. What you're describing seems pretty rational to me.

Of course the US doesn't want another reserve currency. Of course Google doesn't want a competition. And that's just simple strategic thinking. They built empires and they want to hold onto them.

Why are we even accepting the premise that this is fear based? Could equally be about information asymmetry or network topology or a dozen other things that have nothing to do with emotion. You don't become a trillion dollar company by being nice. You get there by killing threats, buying out competitors before they get bigger, creating moats around your business that nobody can ride.

Yes, even rich people feel as though they don't have enough. But why? It's not because they're broken on their own individually and fearful or need therapy. It's because wealth is relative and the game is literally never over. There's always someone richer, always another market to be tapped into, always more growth coming next quarter. The treadmill doesn't stop.

Calling this fear means that we could correct it with mindset changes or individual change. We can't. This is pre-programmed into corporate legislation; it is programmed into the way international trade operates; it is programmed into the obligations of shareholder.

I think in modern world now, fear mostly translated into strategy and it drives personal, institution / company even country. In this VUCA world, innovation moves faster than stability and with capitalism, the winner is not who are the strongest but who adapted faster. But hegemon that monopolized not only has fear but they combine fear, greed and using system advantages not only to grow and enlarge their domination but also preserve their hegemony.thats wahy domination has ofensive character i/o defensif.

Your choice of USD as example of US fear can be explained as threat to USD not only resulted fear for US but if dollar domination weakened, US cost of living increase, cost of debt increase and US influence decrease, when US loose financial domination not only mean loosing money but also loose its ability to finance its military and defence technology with its alliance.So we can conclude that to maintain domination, a hegemon must control system not only have fear, because USD become system not only currency, almost impossible to replace it. I see from US foreign policy for USD threat, they always destroy the threat before it becomes a system.

Basically, I don't agree if you say world economy is driven by fear, greed, survival will, opportunity, trust and technology. In national level we see protectionism policies, energy and food control policy military and defence warfare as response of fear. Competition is survival instinct, the higher the pressure, the competition getting bigger. But international corporation also need trust from each party, without trust there would be no global investation, international fund, currency credibilit even global trading.

Fear and anxiety are common for everyone due to the feeling of being threatened. In an economic context, this is also felt by every country and even large corporations. Then, various strategies are devised by those better equipped to dominate the global economy. The United States is one example of a country capable of controlling the world. Every policy issued by the United States government always impacts the global economy. As you said about the threat to the dollar, they immediately react. So, the result of the overwhelming desire of a country with influence has an impact on developing countries because their economic structures are highly dependent on the policies of the superpower, leaving them unable to put up any resistance.

So FEAR is transfered from indviduals to groups and groups formed nations and countries and corporations....MONOPOLY is established out of fear.
Ofc, cost of living will increase FEAR and that will create more fight and competation countries and companies will have more fear the FEAR OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH.
The big fear of having not enough will kill all the cooperation but will increase competation.

Im sure that for example: facebook dont want to see other kind of facebook wich is not difficult to make it if you got it computer skills.
Also usa dont want to see other DOLLAR !!
and google dont like otther "google" everybody want to be dominant on markets...and specially when cost of living is high and it goes higher and higher we have situation when even rich ones feels that they dont have enough.


For example if anyone threating the dollar.... then usa will destroy them instantly all means will be used and thats off course out of fear the fear of losing power and wealth nobody dont want that.

Currently, the market is experiencing extreme fear, with a rating of 12 points. This is terrifying, and all because today is truly a bloody day. But for traders, this is an opportunity, although the market still has room to fall further. Fear in the context of the dollar? Yes, the dollar has weakened recently, but there's a catch. The US is a country with the strongest economy; they meticulously track all indicators, forecast them, and have hundreds of financial instruments. As for other countries, their economies are more like closed kitchens where it's unclear what's going on. Yes, there are good economies, and someone might cite China as an example. But how many other countries can boast of this? Not many.

I think the world runs on hate, not fear. I do not know how to explain this clearly, but in todays world the request of voters and regular people is not that they should do better, but others should do bad.

So if you are voting, most likely you are not voting for your own candidate, you can't care less about that person, no you are voting against the person you hate, and against the person who gets votes from the people who you hate. In USA, a democrat is not voting for kamala because they like kamala, they vote for kamala because they hate trump, and this happens IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

no one want to go out of business to even start with and so it is just in the nature of an entity or an established organization to do all that ensures that they still remain in business. If you show a single sign of weakness, you get kicked out and an immediate replacement comes up immediately. that is just how the system is designed and how it works basically.

a nation or people that does not see competition as a good thing will in no time thrown away and an alternative easily created in their place.

Many people are aware that the global economy is largely driven by fear, and that fear fuels competition. Most economic actors make decisions not only based on opportunities but also on the fear of loss. Fear of inflation, anxiety about unemployment, the risk of losing capital, or the worry of falling behind in the market make individuals more cautious and defensive.

[Silverstonez]

Without fear humans are nothing, it's fear that makes everyone to anticipate towards survival which leads to competition (what was supposed to be a healthy competition), competitions that drives the economya dn political structures.

Fear do lead to a lot of great discovery. Even bitcoin, I think it's the fear of centralized financial system that led Satoshi Nakamoto towards creation of bitcoin, a decentralised cryptocurrency that have changed many minds today about privacy and financial freedom.
Fear to stay poor breeds creativity that leads to greatness
Fear led to technological developments among diverse countries in protection of their territory against external aggression.

Fear is a natural something that is existing among humans. Back then in 2008 when the global financial crisis happened and Bank collapsed and the government bailed them out. fear and lack of trust in Banks was the reason why Satoshi nakamoto thought of something that can not be controlled by any central entity, bank and government. So because of Satoshi nakamoto wanted he created Bitcoin to decentralized that people can have control over there money. So if not for fear and lack of trust in bank I don't think Bitcoin will be existing today. So in conclusion fear is reason why somethings are existing today.

I doubt that many people are really aware about this. Aware means you can control your feelings. Those who are aware, which they are small number compared to global market population, can find opportunities through. But the large market is not yet aware about the fear controlling the market because it's a human beig nature.

[Haunebu]

That's been common knowledge since the age of dinosaurs op. The strong survive while the weak perish : This is the foundation upon which the natural order is selected and it is something which will never change for obvious reasons.

The rich or strong fear losing their luxuries and power while the poor or weak fear never acquiring such luxuries and power. There is no middle ground here.

Yes all are  fully awere of the fear affecting the world's economy due to the situation on ground all over the world,  earlier before now when all where not controlled by greed and quest for supremacy, there was love, harmony and a conducive environment where investment was done without fear, but now hatred and enviness has taken over all making it difficult for trust to exist. As for the world economy getting back to normal Is what am not sure of because all are willing to do anything just destroy the effort of others.

This is why there is a fear/greed index. Not because fear is bad for us, fear is in fact a good thing because we can invest when there is fear and we can make money from that period. If you invest when it's extreme fear, and if you sell when it's extreme greed, that is how you make profit in the crypto world.

People do not get that fear is actually good for you, market being fearful means that they are out and they are still going out, bleeding hasn't stopped, and when we hit that bottom and every fearful person is out, we can start buying and making some money. It is also the same at greed, at extreme levels where even your grandmother ends up getting bitcoin, that is time to sell and get out of crypto world.

[Byebyebtc]

The fear is like a way the brain tells you to work hard, if there is no fear you will be relaxed and care less about being the best.

So that fear may sound bad but it's actually a good thing that is needed. And if you take a good look at today's world you will understand that that fear is real and its actually something that can definitely happen. Look at how productive individuals, companies, countries etc. are getting, if you don't do better it wouldn't be hard for them to surpass you, so the fear is valid.

I would say that fear of running out of money and losing a job is very common in developing countries but in developed countries, people rarely fear these things or at least that's what I noticed. People in Europe have a good pension, good health and social insurance, good salaries and even the minimum wage is enough to live a normal life, even if you don't own an apartment and have to pay rent.

While that fear truly exists in business, I think that it's different in top companies. These companies are so wealthy that they can bribe politicians and immediately destroy their competitors but mostly, we all fear tomorrow because nobody knows what's going to happen, we might live, we might die, we might lose everything or gain everything.

[Jateng]

Fear does not generate competition, but hostility. Competition is rivalry. Hostility is the desire to eliminate a threat. In extreme cases, it is expressed in arson and murder. It is because of the mixing of these two different things that the competition has acquired a negative color. The term "fair competition" has even appeared - that is, improving quality while lowering prices, etc.

The economy gets better and better because of fear. Some people improve themselves through fear and some people harm themselves because of this fear. If you are selling a good product in the market your opponent can even harm you because of fear. This is because of their own loss.If we consider our financial situation as an enemy then a person will work hard to eliminate this enemy and improve their financial situation. People save and invest more because of economy fear.In other words fear increases the passion for hard work among people.

[uneng]

Fear is a mechanism of defense. It's useful to lead us outside dangerous situations which have harm potential against our physical integrity or survival. Fear in the case you mentioned, can be useful as motivation, as you will do your best to leave that aversive situation as soon as possible.

I don't think world is ran by fear, although it's a complementary element in life. And as said previously, it's not bad at all. The issue isn't to have to work in order to acquire money. The issue is the raising living costs which are unproportional to the wages received by people.

As consequence, we have abusive fear being elicited on people. That fear shouldn't even exist at first place in a decent society which walk side by side. But the world is unfair and ran by unfair individuals. Understand the circumstances and do your best to overcome it.

But international corporation also need trust from each party, without trust there would be no global investation, international fund, currency credibilit even global trading.

Fear does not only drive competition. It determines what we believe rational even means. Why do we take that for normal? Like, at what point did we come to terms that's just how things are and we stopped asking if it has to be this way?

The thing of the USD is perfect because it is the trap. US maintains dollar dominance because a loss of it would wreck everything they've built. But it's only a catastrophe because they built all around it in the first place.

Were any of us actually responsible for planning this or are we simply in a configuration that we have stumbled into, and now that we are in it, it would cost too much to get out? I genuinely don't know.

You say trust is important when it comes to international cooperation. But what kind of trust? It's not moral trust. It's predictability trust. Corporations do not trust each other because they are ethical. They believe the incentives will be true. When those break, the trust disappears in an instant.

 If your dominance must constantly win the battle to keep the alternatives from occurring, you're not stable. You're just successfully dealing with instability.

Which may be the best definition of hegemony we have. But is that sustainable or only a long prelude to something breaking?
