Here is an essential text by an important man, Maurice Allais: it was first of all a clairvoyant and caustic article published in Le Figaro on October 12, 19 and 26, 1998 (but still, much more, in the end, topical in 2007), in the Opinions section; then it was taken up and annotated in a fascinating book published by Courageous Éditions Clément Juglar: many additional notes and appendices that you will find in the book (not here) allow the author to respond to the objections presented to him.
The ensemble is remarkable, lively, useful: it is political economy, citizen use.
Highly recommended reading (to better understand our economic and political world).
