1. Extract
 The work of philosophers and scientists has been used by politicians and economists to try to explain the causes of economic and social behavior of human groups. For example, Charles Darwin (1809-1882) studied the biological evolution of species, but his theory of natural selection was used to justify capitalism. Karl Marx (1818-1883) evaluated the causes of social conflict and attributed it to the class struggle and selfishness capitalist; years later, the Marx's theory was employed to sustain the communist and socialist regimes in Russia and other places of the world, while Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) followed in the same Darwin line creating his survival of the fittest theory which served to reinforce the idea of capitalism. But none of these theoretical interpretations considered the link between human behavior and the essential component of life, which is the atom. This fact makes us think that it would be useful to supplement the existing ideas from that perspective.

2.  Hypothesis
Human beings are made up of atoms and their economic and social attitude repeat the behavior of atoms. The following paragraphs explain what the basis of that hypothesis is.

3. The unit as the source of all that exists 
Philosophers of Ancient Greece first raised the concept of unit as cause and effect of all existence and called those unit monad. In Greek monad means unit. Following this idea, the pre-Socratic philosophers Leucippus and Democritus, conceived and first used the concept of atom in V-IV centuries BC. The Pythagoreans extended the study of the concept of unit and attributed at unit the origin of numbers, geometry and everything. Plato (424 BC -348 BC) and Aristotle (384 BC -322 BC) also spoke of monads. Centuries later, René Descartes (1596-1650) became interested in the topic and continued in that same interest Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716) and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). The work of all these philosophers found in the 20th century with the final explanation of the atom scientific study which confirmed that atom is the smallest unit of matter, and that everything in the universe is made up of atoms, i.e. the atom is the essential part of all. This confirmed that the ideas of the pre-Socratic, ancient and modern philosophers about monads were true, since monads were essentially the same atoms as we know them today. It showed also that knowledge is constantly evolving: the best demonstration of it is how the original idea of monads of Antiquity   evolved to the modern idea of atom in the 20th century.  
The idea of ​​unit as the beginning and end of all things may be proven in the most important manifestations of life: God is one;  the different religions accept the existence of this Superior Being who is called in different ways but in essence is the same. All the elements that constitute nature are made of atoms, i.e. by an essential unit. Space and time is one unit. Man and woman form a unit that is the human race and to confirm this statement we must remember that the Holy Scriptures say the woman, Eve, was created from Adam.  That is to say God, man and nature are separate units in appearance but in reality united in essence by a common integrator that is God. You might wonder why then there are injustice, poverty, conflict and war if God, man and nature form a unit. I think there is an explanation which will be discussed below.

4. Do human beings repeat in the economic and social life the same behavior of atom?
We can think that in the economic and social life take place a phenomenon similar to what occurs in the atom where there is a positive force (protons p +), a negative force (electron e-) and a neutral force (neutrons n). These forces fighting in the atom are in constant motion with loads of different intensity and this produces the changes in nature. Well, a similar phenomenon happens in the economy and in social life. In capitalist societies the producers are the positive force, the speculators the negative force and consumers the neutral force, which are handled by each other. In communist societies the workers are the positive force, the state the negative force, which plunders the rest of society and the consumers the neutral force which is also a victim of the state. In all political regimes operate the three forces (positive, negative, and neutral) and all act on the nature overexploiting the natural resources and affecting the environment. A much broader interpretation could be made of this idea.
Human beings are made up of atoms; therefore people follow the same behavior of atoms in its economic and social behavior. It is a process of constant struggle between its components. Conflict is a phenomenon inherent to the proper nature of beings. That explains why thinkers such as Charles Darwin, Karl Marx and Herbert Spencer spoke of natural selection, the class struggle and survival of the fittest. But Darwin, Marx neither Spencer knew the implications of atomic phenomenon as we know it today; if they had known it perhaps would have linked their theories to the effect that the atomic composition of matter exert on the economic and social behavior of the human groups.  An exception in this regard was the research of the structuralist trend of scientific psychology of the early 20th century, whose founder, Wilhelm Wundt, (1832-1920), did consider the influence of atom in human behavior.

5. Why humans fight among them?
Human beings fight among them because they reproduce in their economic and social life the essential behavior of atom, which is in a permanent process of transformation. This would explain not only economic and social change but also biological change. The cells are in a continuous transformation process but the cells are atoms. Hence life is eternal. Death does not affect the essential principle of life that is atom, which continues to exist beyond death, because atom is indestructible and gives rise to new forms of life.

6. The idea of ​​Leibniz
The German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz, in his study of monads, which in essence was the same atom that we realize now, explained that each monad (atom) has its own program of action; hence, neither causality nor the fortuity exists because everything that happens in nature is programmed by the monads.
In the 20th century, modern physics advanced enough to understand more fully the atom and to develop its practical applications; some uses of atomic energy have brought great progress to humanity but others, unfortunately, as its use in weapons of massive destruction, have placed the world near end; the threat remains there.

7.  Conclusion

If human beings are made up of atoms and atoms have a determined behavior, we can suppose that the behavior of human beings is influenced or determined by the behavior of atoms.
