Trois leçons sur la société post-industrielle

Synopsis of Trois leçons sur la société post-industrielle

Cohen analyses in three lessons how capitalism has changed in recent decades and how the industrial economy has given way to the post-industrial society. He examines the ruptures that separate the economic sphere from the social one and the challenges that this new stage poses to Western societies.
