“The formation of industrial-economic movements, especially in parts of the world where traditions still exist, and even feudalism and land-use, are creating profligate and destructive currents. This phenomenon in societies that official corrupt collusion in the absence of law, in various layers of society and the economy, has infiltrated the devastation of nature and the collapse of values and human dignity.
