At various levels, most markedly in southern Europe than in the north, it has opened a historical dynamics of social regression. Greece, Portugal and Spain, for example, “Latin & americanized” in three years with poverty rate growing to 40 to 50% of the population. However, in urban contemporary societies, the destruction of the average living conditions of the majority of the population could never be done “cold”, that is, no colossal resistance.
