Sažetak
In the next century as well, the needs of 8 billion people around the world will mainly be of material nature. Therefore, even in the far enough future, the production will have the central position in creating of new values. In the production of food and things an information revolution has taken place, unnoticed by the general public. Products and production processes have been completely changed. High technology has been developed, new chains of values created, new operating structures and new markets. Along with improvement and further development of classical, macro–technical production, the future period will see a strong development of micro–technology and nano–technology. However, such continuing mainly classical production will need ever fewer employees. There may come a time when total material needs of the mankind would be satisfied by only 20% of employees. It is assumed that currently there is no clear concept that would solve the problems caused by globalisation, unemployment, wild capitalism and similar phenomena. In the next century, employment will present one of the basic social problems and a satisfactory answer will be given only jointly by technicians, economists, sociologists and other experts in the field of the spirit sciences (Geisteswissenschaften).
