«L'illusion économique» is Emmanuel Todd's essay on the stagnation of developed societies, published by Gallimard (321 pages, in French).
Todd argues that stagnation, inequality and poverty are real phenomena, but with a cultural and anthropological root: educational decline, the 'Malthusian shock' of hollow generations and the weakening of the idea of the nation. Globalisation is not an inevitable external constraint, but an illusion that paralyses governments.
Essay published in 1998 by Gallimard in paperback, in the «Hors série Connaissance» collection.
For readers of economics, sociology and critique of discourse on globalisation.
