Abstract
We are encountering to three kinds of big crisis. The first is a crisis of economic system, the second is a crisis of humanity and the third is the crisis of natural environment of the earth. The basic cause of the crisis is the modern capitalism which has changed its nature from the early days of capitalism. Precisely speaking, various paradigm of the modern capitalism is the basic cause of the three crises. Those paradigm are for example, liberalism, competitive system, for-profit enterprise system, market system and so on. If we want to escape from these crisis, we must change those paradigm of the modern capitalism to another ones of another new society. The procedure of the analysis is as follows. The first step is to analyze the necessary conditions of the new society, the second step is to analyze the direction of the change of the modern capitalism to fulfill the necessary conditions of the new society, the third step is to create the system of basic values of the new society, and the last step is to devise the principles, institutions, and systems of the new society. We will show you in the article that the new society is called solidarity society. The fundamental new paradigm value is not liberalism but love and justice. The dominant system is not competition system but solidarity system, not for-profit enterprise system but non-profit enterprise system and so on. The solidarity society is not a dream or fantasy. The prototype of the solidarity society is the social economy in Europe. The new solidarity society will be the challenge to a new civilization.
