La sovranità del limite

Giustizia, lavoro e ambiente nell'orizzonte della mondializzazione

Printed cover of the book "La sovranità del limite" by Alain Supiot

Never before have we experienced the original and ineliminable power of the limit as we did during the Covid-19 global pandemic. If human societies are to avoid the catastrophe foretold by studies on climate change and biodiversity loss, but also by ever-increasing social inequalities, the limit must once again become " sovereign " : only then will it be possible to guarantee societies that are still human, and a world that is still liveable. But in the face of a market that is now total, can the law still perform these functions ? And under what conditions can it correct the limitless ideology of globalization ? And reaffirm the demands for social and environmental justice that the latter has set aside ? Together with Alain Supiot, this volume seeks to provide some answers to these questions.
