Social Darwinism has led to the
collapse of moral and ethical values. When a society undergoes moral
degeneration, the economy turns into savage capitalism in which the poor and
oppressed and the marginalized do not receive any aid, assistance or social
justice. Injustice is not seen as a problem but as part of a natural law.
Savage capitalism does not protect weaker firms (and weaker individuals)
against the risk of being subdued, exploited and eliminated. This philosophy is
summed up in the saying “the big fish eats the smaller one”. Social Darwinism
provided a scientific basis for savage capitalism, and savage capitalism still
governs the global economy.
