Welfare in the Era of Globalized Capitalism: The Trends of Tang Ping, Quiet Quitting, Great Resignation

Abstract

Has global capitalism reduced inequality and poverty? How do today’s young people reactto cultural changes in organizations in a world that demands more and more flexibility? How do organizational and social transformations impact the lives of individuals? These and other questions are the starting point of our reflection which will attempt to investigate, through theoretical sources and research on the field, the possible correlation between the social phenomena of Tang Ping, Quiet Quitting and Great Resignations. Today, the capitalist model, with its promises of global progress and social equity, is showing its first cracks and needs to be redefined. Similarly, the concepts of growth anddevelopment need to be rethought. If globalization encourages welfare models that shift the boundaries between public and private, in the same way ‘flexible capitalism’ triggers new dynamics of individuals’ exploitation. Are cultural and organizational models of our recent past still effective in keeping the promise of development and progress?.
