In the third book of our collection with Presses Universitaires de France, Claude Gamel merges Hayek\u2019s and Rawls\u2019 theses to give us the three axes of a modern regulation.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Liberalism is a little-known, and often distorted, philosophy in France. It can however embrace its full meaning when integrating its political and economic dimensions. A socially sustainable liberalism becomes possible with the maximum scattering of power as a guiding principle.<\/p>\n If Hayek’s \u201cspontaneous order\u201d provides an essential backdrop while Rawls’ \u201cTheory of justice\u201d, once reworked, provides three priority axes of a modern regulation: chosen work, enriched capacities and a universal basic income.<\/p>\n With a French angle at the heart of its reflections on liberalism, Claude Gamel applies them to contemporary issues and thus makes it possible to renew the public policy debate.<\/p>\n His book is a worthy action programme. Among other things, Gamel defines the terms of a single employment contract, the need for a better sharing of corporate profits and the progressive implementation of a universal basic income.<\/p>\n He also outlines new ideas for public policies to overcome the digital and environmental challenges of our time at a global level, for example via a private property right on personal data and a global market of carbon emission quotas.<\/p>\n Mixing philosophy and economic knowledge, Claude Gamel offers us the work of a lifetime. A powerful guide for new generations of intellectuals fighting for freedom.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cHayek found regrettable the lack of a \u201cliberal utopia\u201d. Claude Gamel provides us with one, with packaging and instructions ready for use. It is now up to the readers to take it and make it a reality.\u201d Gaspard Koenig<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
