Le capitalisme contre le monde
La chute du mur de l'argent
Emile H. Malet - Collection L'histoire à vif
Résumé
--
In its political economy phase, capitalism was born and developed in the wake of the Enlightenment and democracy: wealth gradually became more abundant, extreme poverty decreasing in many places as industrialisation underwent an extraordinary boom in the 19th century. By becoming an ever more sophisticated financial tool, by abandoning its social facet, by allowing all-powerful money a total supremacy over civil society, by biologizing minds and behaviour with all-consuming technologies that reduce civilisation to its minimum expression, capitalism found itself standing against the world... And today, in a context of grave financial crisis, capitalism has gone as far as to weaken globalization, with the risk of crushing its momentum and its means. This essay lists all the social, cultural, sanitary, economic, political and consumerist shortcomings in a world without intrinsic values. Here or in other countries, in the North or South, new generations are rebelling. Already we can see the return of identity instincts, protectionism, nationalism and xenophobia. How can we escape them, while limiting economic damage and avoiding political disorder? Sustainable development seems to be one opportunity, the necessary revitalisation of social concerns and the return of politics is a welcome imperative. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the present-day fall of the financial edifice could inaugurate new openings in the 21st century.
