What to do ?

Ludivine Bantigny

What can we do to change our society? Examples and proposals from yesterday to today to rethink work, property and democracy.

For decades, we have been told that there is no alternative to the capitalist system, and to the society that stems from it. A society of competition, evaluation, profitability, and rejection. Today, more than ever, we are living a double expropriation: of our work, and of the democratic decision. We are also experiencing a tragedy and an emergency: the plundering of the earth's resources. Is change possible? And if so, under what concrete, economic and political conditions? How can we regain autonomy, cooperation, equality, solidarity and true democracy?

Historian and teacher-researcher Ludivine Bantigny is the author of numerous books on the history of social movements and revolutions, as well as essays on the social and political situation.
