For Michel Serres, economic crises are earthquakes caused by
societal tectonic plates. The current crisis erupted because of the
widening discrepancy between major social changes and institutions
that have remained the same since WWII. Serres, one of the first to
bring nature into the political, writes, "To destroy, kill, exploit
is worthless. In the long run, it means destroying ourselves." At a
time when the world population has grown so much that it is
exhausting natural resources and the environment, we need to
rethink cultural, social, and political dynamics. Serres argues
that geopolitics and economics will no longer be a two-player game,
between West and East, for example, but a three-player one, in
which is Earth will be the third partner. This book is one of hope
as it calls for a new world and extols the importance of science
for our future and political institutions. Here, Serres
demonstrates an optimistic outlook in a clear and luminous language
that offers new paths for reflection and, ultimately, a better life
for Earth and its inhabitants.
