L’horreur économique. Qu’est-ce qui a changé ?

Viviane Forrester presented the economic horror. This work has been contested, but it must be acknowledged that, in its time, these analyses were often relevant. She underlined the societal contempt of the worker, the economic diktat of the privileged, but also of "people who know and know" (especially their interests), the degradation demanded by shareholder dividends, the violence of precariousness, financial predation, the multinationals freed to exploit the natural world and men, the money powers that dominate the political world, the retreat of public power as a factor of the private sector, and this form of economic anarchy that makes the system more and more cruel, less and less human. Today, in a more globalized world, the question arises as to whether these effects have changed and whether human development has finally gained ground thanks to the rise of new technologies.
