Résumé
--
In this book, Hugues Puel assembles the articles he has published over the past few years in 'Économie et humanisme', also evoking the sixty-five-year-long existence of the review. Written in an international context of rapid and disturbing change, they lay bare the means of action open to a large variety of people: heads of State, politicians, managers of firms, but also the less visible, more discreet names in the news, people who are often exposed to the anguish of unjust and painful situations. These men and women are confronted with the problem of making choices in contexts of war or the building of peace the globalization of economic competition difficult struggles against poverty and fights for justice. Some of them, even in desperate circumstances, are driven by a ferocious desire to live. These specific situations, with the motivations and convictions they hide (the desire for power, the search for wealth, but also faith in man, with or without a religious reference) have a more general impact and take on an emblematic value. Reading the news and daily events, while observing why those involved acted as they did, is an exercise in discernment that provokes everything from consternation to humour. At the heart of the deep crisis of our economic system, these articles, written by a knowledgeable specialist and covering events from the beginning of the century, are an invitation to understand what's going on today.
