sans cesse. Mais c'est en Amérique que cela se passe, pensons-nous. Là-bas, les écoles en sont à payer les enfants s'ils ont de bonnes notes ; les entreprises paient les travailleurs qui font des efforts pour améliorer leur santé Serions-nous à l'abri de ces dérives ? Nous sommes en réalité déjà contaminés. Il est mal de vendre le droit de faire du tort aux autres. Pourquoi alors acceptons-nous l'une des mesures phares sur le changement climatique, à savoir le marché des droits à polluer, qui permet à certains d'aller au-delà de leur permis démission en payant ceux qui se restreignent davantage ? Nous ne confondons pas l'amour vénal et l'amour tout court. Pourquoi alors acceptons-nous que lINSEE inclue dans la richesse nationale le temps que les parents passent à s'occuper des enfants au tarif de la baby-sitter ? Nous n'avons pas encore réfléchi à ce que devrait être la place du marché dans une société démocratique et juste. Ce livre, déjà un best-seller mondial, nous y aide puissamment. " -- 4e de couv.

Par Wolfgang Streeck. 2016

leading to instability; and confidence in the money economy has all but evaporated. Streeck argues that the world is about to change.

The regulatory institutions that once restrained the financial sector’s excesses have collapsed and, after the final victory of capitalism at the end of the Cold War, there is no political agency capable of rolling back the liberalization of the markets. Ours has become a world defined by declining growth, oligarchic rule, a shrinking public sphere, institutional corruption and international anarchy, and no cure to these ills is at hand. 2016.Burnt out and despairing, middle-aged Leah reluctantly agrees to visit 94-year-old Adele once a week in her nursing home, and…
