Facing the crisis

Luc Ferry presents an analysis carried out in conjunction with the Council for the Analysis of Society, at the request of the Prime Minister of France, following the last economic crisis that occurred on the planet. In his blockbuster, Ferry presents answers to the following questions: What has changed over the decades? What is set to change in the coming years? How can we prepare our country for this change in the medium term? The crisis we are experiencing is not just economic and financial. It is a crisis of the meaning of ordinary life in societies, whose only horizon can no longer be consumption. Therefore, the responses we must give to this cannot be exclusively technical. We also need to think in terms of civilization. And it is urgent to strengthen social equality, but also real solidarity, within the family, between generations, and within companies. For it is they, and only they, who today give meaning to everyday existence. It is from this perspective that the Society Analysis Council formulates concrete proposals here that are linked to a fundamental analysis of the current situation.
