Abstract(s)
Esta tese tem por objeto investigar os sistemas capitalistas dos Estados Unidos da América
e da União Europeia nas suas vertentes tradicionais e contemporâneas.
O foco do trabalho é uma comparação entre os dois sistemas, nas suas diferenças, e em
especial as respetivas interferências governamentais existentes em cada um deles. Sublinhase
igualmente a conexão existente em ambos os sistemas entre o social e da esfera
económica. Além disso, um dos aspetos do trabalho é a eliminação de certos preconceitos
sobre o fosso aparente entre os sistemas comparados.
A pesquisa inclui informações detalhadas sobre os Estados Unidos da América e a União
Europeia, e em particular as gestões sociais diferentes, as mentalidades das populações, e os
factos históricos e político-económicos. A pesquisa produz um certo número de resultadoschave,
incluindo o facto de que os Estados Unidos e a União Europeia não diferem de
forma tão drástica como se poderia pensar nas suas posições relativamente às obrigações
sociais e no seu anseio pela competitividade. Ambos os sistemas sofrem as consequências
severas da crise financeira de 2007, levando-os para uma reestruturação económicopolítica.
As principais conclusões da pesquisa são que os Estados Unidos da América e a União
Europeia alteraram, nos últimos anos, os seus pontos de vista sobre como distribuir o
dinheiro com eficiência para manter ou construir um sistema capitalista sustentável. Uma
convergência progressiva das duas visões é observável nas ideias de reestruturação
promovidas de ambos os lados do Altântico. A pesquisa também mostra que os cidadãos
dos Estados Unidos da América e da União Europeia podem ou têm que estar pronto para
uma revolução histórica, que precisa de ser realizada para manter uma sociedade
responsável social e competitiva neste mundo globalizado.
This thesis focuses on investigating the capitalistic systems of the United States of America and the European Union in the traditionally as in the contemporary sense. The main attention is stressed on a comparison of the two diverse systems and their governmental interferences, and the connection between the social and the economic sphere. Moreover, one of the aspects of the work is to eliminate some prejudices about the apparent discrepancy between the compared systems. The research includes detailed information about the US and the EU market, the different social managements, the population’s mentalities, and eco-political and historical facts. The research produces a number of key findings, including the fact that the USA and the EU do not differ so extremely in their opinion of social duty and longing for competiveness. Both systems suffer severely from the consequences of the financial crisis of 2007 leading them to an eco-political restructure. The main conclusions drawn from this research are that the USA and the EU lately altered their points of view about how to distribute money efficiently in order to maintain or build a sustainable eco-political capitalistic system. A certain progressive convergence of the two visions is observable in the restructuring of the promoted ideas of both sides of the Atlantic. The research also shows that the citizens of the USA and the EU might or have to be ready for a historical revolution, which needs to be undertaken in order to maintain a competitive and social responsible society in this globalized world.
