Transformation in Social Structures of the Post-Coronavirus World

Abstract

The article is a brief excursion into the history of large-scale epidemics known to mankind. Comparison of similar situations in different historical eras. The results of the comparative analysis make it possible to assert that development of illness is possible only in a highly globalized world. The second general conclusion is a decrease of productive forces and a certain state of human capital. These factors negatively affect the economy, increasing the value of individual workers and their ability to tradition. However, when projecting this pattern into the current situation, a significant difference is noticeable. In addition, the factor of decline in production is due to the high degree of mechanization of labor. As a result, it is possible to predict the reverse previous epidemic impact — the value of an individual worker will decrease directly proportionally in the economy. The third overall impact is due to a change in social institutions — the most effective solutions come usual. Thus, the transformation is economically viable, and the economic system is being transformed during the Justinian plague. Thus, it can be expected that in the near future a high level of unemployment and the alienation of a number of value factors will be ensured.
