This book provides a lively account of the gilets jaunes, the
yellow vest movement that has shaken France since 2018. Charles
Devellennes assesses what lessons can be drawn from their
activities and the impact for the contemporary relationship between
state and citizen. Informed by a dialogue with past political
theorists - from Hobbes, Spinoza and Rousseau to Rawls, Nozick and
Diderot - and reflecting on the challenges posed by the yellow vest
movement, the author rethinks the concept of the social contract
for contemporary societies around the world. It proposes a new
relationship between the state and the individual, and establishes
the necessity of rethinking the modern democratic nature of our
representative polities in order to provide a genuine process for
the healing of social ills.
