Hardback. Condition: New. A fascinating retelling of the first banking and financial collapse in eighteenth-century France. The Scottish economist John Law has been described as the architect of modern central banking. His "System," established in Regency France between 1716 and 1720, saw the founding of a bank issuing paper m…oney and the establishment of state commercial and colonial enterprises aimed at consolidating public debt. What at first seemed like financial wizardry, however, resulted in rampant speculation and, ultimately, economic collapse. In The Politics of Utopia, historian Arnaud Orain offers a provocative rereading of this well-known episode. Starting his story in the seventeenth century, Orain reconstructs the figures and ideas, long predating Law, that anticipated and laid the groundwork for the System, which, he argues, is best understood as a failed social utopia aimed at the total transformation of society. Overturning familiar narratives of this seismic event, this book rewrites a stunning chapter in economic history by dealing with the cultural, colonial, religious, and political dimensions of the (in)famous System up to the French Revolution, revealing new lessons for today's fraught financial landscape.

Soft cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. Contrairement à ce que l on a cru jusqu ici, le « système » mis en place en France sous la régence du duc d Orléans n a pas été un accident provoqué par un génie solitaire, l Écossais John Law. Il ne se résume en rien à une expérience financière qui se serait soldée p…ar l échec du billet de banque et la dérive spéculative. Dans une relecture complète de cet épisode célèbre, Arnaud Orain révèle l incroyable ambition du « système » qui visait à mettre en place un contrôle total de l appareil d État sur l activité économique. Au carrefour des utopies et des rêves coloniaux élaborés depuis la fin du xviie siècle, grâce à une intense propagande faisant du « système » un conte merveilleux, ce grand Léviathan devait modifier intégralement l organisation sociale du royaume et répondre à la montée inquiétante du libéralisme. Son écho allait traverser le siècle des Lumières jusqu au grand orage de 1789.

Cartonato. Condition: new. Traduzione di Alessandro Manna. Torino, 2026; cartonato, pp. 288, cm 14,6x22,1. (La Biblioteca). Il neoliberismo ci ha promesso un mondo di crescita illimitata, progresso condiviso e mercati aperti. Ma ciò a cui stiamo assistendo è l'ascesa di un capitalismo ben diverso: protezionista, dominato da mono…poli, altamente militarizzato. È il capitalismo della finitudine: nel XVI e XVII secolo la sua forma era la lotta tra le potenze europee per il controllo di colonie e mercati, poi si è ripresentato con la competizione imperialistica sfociata nei due conflitti mondiali. E oggi ha il volto di Trump e Xi Jinping. «Come ci ricorda Orain, il capitalismo autoritario e predatorio è la forma reale che il liberalismo economico ha spesso assunto nella storia. Una lezione essenziale per comprendere il nostro presente». Thomas Piketty Che cosa succede quando un sistema economico fonda il proprio funzionamento sulla consapevolezza che le risorse del pianeta non sono infinite? È da questa domanda che parte Arnaud Orain, economista e storico francese, nel suo nuovo saggio:La confisca del mondo. Un libro ambizioso, che attraversa cinque secoli di storia per delineare le forme di un capitalismo che ha sempre saputo - o temuto - che il mondo fosse finito, limitato, chiuso. Orain definisce questo modello «capitalismo della finitudine»: un sistema che non si basa sull'espansione illimitata, ma sulla predazione, sulla corsa all'accaparramento e al controllo delle sempre piú scarse risorse del pianeta. Dal colonialismo europeo tra Cinque e Settecento all'imperialismo novecentesco, fino alla competizione globale contemporanea per le materie prime, i corridoi energetici, le infrastrutture digitali e persino lo spazio, il libro ricostruisce come la consapevolezza della «fine» abbia generato dinamiche sempre piú aggressive e monopolistiche. Ne esce un affresco inquietante e lucido, in cui il mercato non è mai davvero libero, ma intrecciato a forme di potere politico, militare e tecnologico che mirano alla cattura degli ultimi spazi ancora disponibili. Orain rilegge in chiave storica le trasformazioni del capitalismo attuale, mostrando come la fine dell'abbondanza coincida con una nuova epoca di conflitti per la gestione del limite.La confisca del mondo è un saggio dall'orizzonte ampio, che ci rivela le logiche profonde che governano il presente e prefigurano il futuro dell'economia globale. «Il ritorno di Trump, le nuove rotte della seta, la militarizzazione delle rotte commerciali: tutto conferma che stiamo entrando in un capitalismo apertamente predatorio, violento erentier». «Le Monde» «Un libro che restituisce un senso alla brutalità trumpista, alle offensive dei giganti del digitale, all'accaparramento dei terreni coltivabili in tutto il pianeta e agli investimenti straordinari della Cina nella sua marina militare». «Mediapart». Libro.
