la paranoïa menacent. Pourtant : la judiciarisation des rapports contractuels, le désir de contrôle, la difficulté d'accepter notre part humaine de fragilité, sans laquelle la confiance n'existe pas, engendrent une société de défiance. L'essai magistral de Michela Marzano offre une double perspective historique et philosophique : de la banqueroute de Law (1720) à la crise du prêt interbancaire (2007-2008), de l'égoïsme libéral au doute systématique des théories du complot, du don de soi dans l'amour à la multiplication des conflits juridiques dans la sphère privée (sait-on que 70 % des contentieux au Tribunal de grande instance sont familiaux ?), de la crainte de tout perdre à l'éloge de la dépendance, Michela Marzano construit et déconstruit notre rapport à la confiance.
