What if no-one was seen to be useless?

<br/><br/> Talleyrand said “in politics, what people believe is more important than the truth.” These days, politics is often subjected to the beliefs of orthodox economists who, for decades, have only put forward failed solutions to unemployment. Based on Pierre-Noël Giraud’s theory in his book L’Homme inutile, this article shows that the production of competing goods and services only accounts for one part of employment, and that we must work on “the remainder,” and that it is entrepreneurial – or enterprising – individuals who have a key role to play in this challenge. The emphasis is then no longer on eliminating unemployment, but on eradicating the feeling of uselessness that employees and social outcasts of all sorts share.
