This essay analyzes the effects of the pandemic caused by Covid-19 on the acceleration of socioeconomic changes that have been associated with the fourth industrial revolution. The essay summarizes the characteristics of the dominant rationality in the evolution of the capitalist industrial economy based on the Schumpeterian theory, to show how this same rationality acted in the preservation of the natural environment of capital, conditioning and restricting the vision of society's future. Contrasting the dominant and contradictory perception of infinite growth with finite resources, a process of critical counterpoint is developed, based on examples of news headlines and notorious dilemmas, established by public authorities and social medias. The essay concludes that a new rationality based on human criteria for perception of development may emerge due to the behavioral changes produced in society by the pandemic.

The rapid pace of technological developments played a key role in the previous industrial revolutions. However, the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) and its embedded technology diffusion progress is expected to grow exponentially in terms of technical change and socioeconomic impact. Therefore, coping with such transformation require a holistic approach that encompasses innovative and sustainable system solutions and not just technological ones. In this article, we propose a framework that can facilitate the interaction between technological and social innovation to continuously come up with proactive, and hence timely, sustainable strategies. These strategies can leverage economic rewards, enrich society at large, and protect the environment. The new forthcoming opportunities that will be generated through the next industrial wave are gigantic at all levels. However, the readiness for such revolutionary conversion require coupling the forces of technological innovation and social innovation under the sustainability umbrella.
