Abstract

The market economy has triumphed over the planned economy. Self-interest prevails; it is the very basis of capitalism. In this conception, any measure that tends to modify the implacable and fair play of the market leads to perverse effects and sub-optimal solutions. Economic science has no compassion, no indignation, and its indifference is based on "the good for all". The materialist hope, carried by democracies, of a continuous development favourable to the "mass" of the living is today combined with the principle of greed necessary for the realisation of profit, sometimes at the price of relative poverty and precariousness for the employees. It also results in a rejection of democratic values and a return to forms of intolerance and denial of individual and collective freedom of thought. Rather, it is man, in all his imperfect humanity, who should, rather than market values, be the measure of all things.
