Summary/Abstract: The actual crisis is an invitation to reconsider the role of knowledge and of sharing it across borders. It seems that the crisis is somewhat the by-product of a paradoxical combination between cultural-ethical illiteracy regarding the money, the society, the economics of society and the technical-mathematical abilities to handle computers and markets. Some analysts are even taking into consideration a new political phenomenon: the leaderless world – where leaders are either underperformers in front of serious decisions or faceless in face of those supposed to be led. Regional aspects of cross-border cultural exchanges will be also taken into account. Where is the place of superior education in this state of affairs? How is the crisis related to the way states are culturally communicating in a world almost exclusively market-centered is another major topic of discussion of our paper.
