10

In Le monde confisqué. Essai sur le capitalisme de la finitude (XVIe-XXIe siècle), published by Flammarion in early 2025, Arnaud Orain describes the emergence of a “capitalism of finitude,” breaking with neoliberalism and based on the idea of a limited world whose resources must be appropriated. He highlights the authoritarian and predatory forms that capitalism takes today and questions the transition scenarios on which Europe pins its hopes.
