Will there be institutional change in our societies? In what direction: towards a greater degree of freedom or further advancement of the role of the<br>State? In this article, we will seek to analyze how this institutional change is devised, focusing our attention<br>on the role played by the mainstream ideas and values in society, and how they evolve. Particularly, we will<br>consider the role of ideas using a market as a benchmark, in which we find parties who demand and who<br>offer, highlighting the role played by entrepreneurs. We will also see what happens when a crisis is triggered,<br>and to what extent it impacts both the size of the market and the future path that society may follow. It is too<br>early to say, right now, which way the market of ideas will lean after the pandemic, but we will analyze what<br>may be the impact of the crisis, of the possible solutions, their results, and their effect on the prevailing ideas.</p> ER -
