Formerly, economists were classified. Today in France, they are right or left so that they come together in many pointsl Since politicking policy sest seized power, everything changed. Remember the great tribunes of the early twentieth century, people from the working class, close to the people, who have experienced themselves the living conditions of miners, workers. Can we still say that?
Let schematically and not exhaustively the categories cited by Maris communicators, entrepreneurs, executives, and productive one side of the other. Some communicating earn a very good living but current lépoque of the first communicants are politicians and journalists. Maris reproach entrepreneurs seeking profit. Today I will replace the concept of profit by the wealth and social status. Dippers look at our politicians, not just individually but as a family (both couples congregation Nationale, quau Senate, as in the government and ministerial offices). Do you see a difference between a politician and a left-right politician on the basis of its standard of living, social status.
In footnote on page Maris gives a quote from Saint-Simon to explain linutilité of lentourage monarchs of the Old Regime. Nassistons we not the same phenomenon today: take the politicians they create new politicians; take journalists they generate journalists; take the people they engender new people. Just Decouter TV and you'll panoply course, this new nobility always defends the poorest but this is more modest are not necessarily exploited entrepreneurs. They have become potential voters that can generate new wealth (in remuneration buxom buxom and even pensions).
For Maris, left, defends the family. Is that the case? Never family entries attacked and trimmed as much as the left government. The adult children are on their own for their education: parents are put away, they are replaced by the state that has the distribution of national wealth (grants, subsidies of all kinds). Genealogical research will soon be useless to be the generators of the future? You will answer me: this is not new. But were given a new name to these descendants: they are no longer bastards. It is under the left that family values were the most dog-eared.
Inaccuracies: to name quun example, I havent yet understood what Le Vallon dAgatha Christie comes prove in this development.
In short, this little book does not convinced me.
Let's come to Houellebecq: an author, of course, but an entrepreneur: he has his own wealth providers: communicating the press, advertising; his workers employees of printing and paper suppliers.
Jai perhaps learned about Houellebecq but I wonder if this will minciter to read his works. I just read submission. A visionary work, it is true but in line with his other works: instead of sex and women. Too bad Maris wrote his book before the release submission. Jaurais been curious to have a comment on that.
However, I will try, in the near future, read another book by the author because I never like to stay on an adverse opinion.
