A discussion of possible future events cannot provide any evidence to support it. An argument without evidence is merely conjecture and speculation. However, in speculation, we can use existing and past patterns of events to suggest the direction of possible future affairs. This paper speculates about the future changes that capitalism may take. In so doing, it uses past and present developments in sciences and the changing values. It offers two possible scenarios. The first scenario is an optimistic one, and the second is not very optimistic. One could even say it is a pessimistic prediction.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen El futuro es desconocido. Discutir sobre la posibilidad de eventos futuros no puede proporcionar ninguna evidencia que la respalde. Un argumento sin evidencia es mera conjetura y especulación. Sin embargo, en la especulación, podemos usar patrones de eventos existentes y pasados &#8203;&#8203;para sugerir la dirección de posibles asuntos futuros. Este artículo especula sobre los cambios futuros que puede sufrir el capitalismo. Al hacerlo, utiliza los desarrollos pasados &#8203;&#8203;y presentes de las ciencias y los valores cambiantes. Ofrece dos escenarios posibles. El primer escenario es optimista y el segundo no es muy optimista. Incluso se podría decir que es una predicción pesimista.]]></p></abstract>
