Le monde confisqué. Essai sur le capitalisme de la finitude (XVIE-XXIE siècle)
Book Presentation with Arnaud Orain
After the collapse of Soviet communism, the onward march of liberal capitalism – grounded in the trifecta of free trade – seemed irresistible. The recent US tariff offensive is only the latest indicator that the global trade architecture as we knew it is being upended. Economic policy, far from merely channelling the precepts of commercial reason, has become a domain of raw power in which geopolitical antagonisms play out and zero-sum thinking predominates. The world, however, has not so much abandoned the virtuous path of sound economic policymaking as reverted to a historical mean. This is the conviction animating the bracing new book by French economic historian Arnaud Orain, presented for the first time to a German audience at the KWI. In Le Monde confisqué, Orain, a professor at EHESS in Paris, shows that once we shed our neoliberal myopia, the economic pax Americana of the late 20th century appears as little more than a fleeting moment.
