ArmInfo.The crisis associated with the spread of coronavirus will lead to dramatic changes in all spheres of human activity. This opinion was expressed by the founder of the Troika Dialog company, entrepreneur and philanthropist Ruben Vardanyan in an interview with RBC.
In his opinion, the current situation has economic, social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral consequences. "This crisis is an impetus for the opening of new crises, which, unfortunately, will be difficult to stop," Vardanyan said.
"The format in which people lived before the start of the coronavirus will not return," Vardanyan said. According to him, this does not mean that everyone will sit by the stove and read books under the torch. However, people will understand the importance of the family as a reference point, the importance of the local community. "And we will see the return migration from large cities to small ones. Because it will be easier to live more compactly," he added.
The investor believes that the crisis will force very different elites to communicate with each other, and not live in separate tunnels of government officials or businessmen.
The businessman said that in this situation, it is necessary to support a huge mass of people who work in small companies, which "tomorrow will simply cease to exist."
"This is necessary to prevent mass unemployment like the one that happened during the Great Depression in the United States in the early 1930s.
Now we have to save hundreds of thousands of small companies. The only way to save is not just tax breaks or some kind of relief or loans. The most important thing is to continue to order all of these services. So that people continue to make these products, these services, so that this working machine can be saved. The state will be forced to become a big client, who will be obliged to maintain demand for many things, "Vardanyan said.
