Occasion – The Wealth of the World, the Poverty of Nations, Daniel Cohen

The aim of Daniel Cohen, professor of economics at the École Normale Supérieure: to debunk the sophisms about globalization... Our ills are to be sought elsewhere, within the third industrial revolution, that of computing... It is the third industrial revolution that has created these inequalities of destiny by extending the laws of the market to all levels, not globalization, which is only a manifestation of it. This book, of rare clarity, short and lively, should be read by all those who want to understand the state of the world.
