In his interview with the “ES” the economist V. Katasonov, revealing the nature of the monetary civilization, goals, objectives and methods of the global financial elite, proposes a way to get rid of destructive illusions, encourages the elite and society to draw a lesson from the century ago events and to be prepared for confrontation with the West. Such purely economic phenomenon as finance, money are analyzed in the course of the conversation not like having self-development, but like metaphysically conditioned, and spiritual culture is considered as the key to understanding modern civilization, especially in its most grounded form — economic development.

The topic of millennial confrontation of Cain and Abel civilizations runs like a thread through the entire conversation of Alexander Ageev and Alexander Isaev with famous Russian economist and professor of MGIMO International Finance Department, chairman of the Russian Economic Society Valentin Katasonov. Orthodoxy and Orthodox culture — that’s the unique bridge over the chasm towards the Abel civilization. The Cain civilization rooted in the West is striving for world domination. How to pass from the Abel economy in families to the Abel economy in the state – that’s one of the most important issues of the present. Nothing more and nothing less than survival of Mankind is at stake.
