The book gathers different contributions - they ca all be linked to recent orientations by the
main contributor Paul Boccara who states the need for a new modèle anthroponomique. According
to the work of the well-known French academic and political activist the current challenges
need more than a simple change of the economic system - even if such reorientation is surely
also needed and has to be in itself far-reaching. However going beyond economic changes the
challenge of the time has to face the need to redefine the position and role of humanity in the
wider relationship to others and to nature. The contributions gathered in the present volume
are discussing both generic questions of such revolutionary processes and the need of changes
in concrete areas as labour market policies political strategies financial control and the
like.
