Critique Of Economic Reason by Andre Gorz
This book offers a critical examination of the dominance of economic rationality in modern societies, arguing that the primacy of market logic and growth metrics reduces people to producers and consumers, deepens alienation, and undermines democratic and ecological values. It calls for rethinking the role of work, advocating shorter work time, income security, and social policies that prioritize human needs, autonomy, and environmental limits over profit-driven accumulation. Ultimately it proposes alternative frameworks and metrics to organize production and redistribution so as to foster emancipation, solidarity, and a sustainable, humane economy.
