Ferghane Azihari and his plea for an industrial society

DOSSIER «LE GRAND RETOUR DU NUCLEAIRE», Jonas Follonier | Classical Liberal? Libertarian? In any case, he's one of those people the press likes to refer to as «neo-liberals» or «ultra-liberals» - not necessarily nice labels. But at Regard Libre, we're not really interested in labels and how nice they are (or aren't). Here's a political and economic analyst who counts, who is a frequent guest in the French media (and not just L'Opinion or Le Figaro) and whose essay, published in 2021, Les écologistes contre la modernité, is fascinating. We may find ourselves in profound disagreement with some or all of his opinions. However, a confrontation with his viewpoint can only be stimulating. This book offers a thorough critique of the anti-capitalist foundations of radical ecology, including the author's fiery, well-argued plea in favor of industrial society and nuclear power.
