Une révolution pour le XXI siècle?
Théâtre National
Do the various social movements of this new millennium share enough commonalities to hope for a real political alternative to capitalism? For Christian Laval, the most important thing is to create a new political raison d’être: one based on communality. Weaving together anti-capitalist struggles and political environmentalism, communality claims the right of use in opposition to the logic of ownership. That’s already a revolution in itself!

Essay on Revolution in the 21st Century] (2014), La nouvelle raison du monde. Essai sur la société néolibérale [The New Way of the World: On Neoliberal Society] (2009)).
