03/10/2017

Waves of suffering in the form of unemployment and destruction of wealth have transformed the social cartography of the Western world and have led to a true geopolitical recession.

Les vagues de souffrance dues au chômage et à la destruction de richesses ont transformé la cartographie sociale du monde occidental et ont conduit à une véritable récession géopoli- tique. Les coordonnées de l’agenda politique changent, d’anciens conflits apparaissent et de nouveaux clivages s’ouvrent. Encore une fois, la répartition des richesses, des inégalités et leurs effets sont au centre du débat public.
