État: Correct
Remarques: Marques d'usure raisonnables sur la couverture et la reliure; par contre, mouillage important sur la tranche et les quelques premières pages du livre (les photos ne rendent pas entièrement compte de l'apparence réelle de la tache). Ceci n'affecte par contre aucunement la lecture du texte, qui est dénué d'annotations.

"Socialism is no better than capitalism if it makes use of the same tools. The total domination of nature inevitably entails a domination of people by the techniques of domination."
André Gorz, to my mind the greatest of modern French social thinkers, dares to venture where no one really has before. Fighters for democratic socialism and an ecological society have each recognized the handwriting on the wall: modern society cannot continue on its present path. Neither group, however, has even begun to recognize the other's value, beyong being little more than a tactial means towards achieving their own ends. Gorz, in this exciting and penetrating gem of a book, addresses precisely this question, and offers a connection between the political and the ecological.
In an age of crisis the realist becomes visionary and the visionary the rational architect of the future. André Gorz is just that. The present decade will be a debacle for progressive change unless our creative efforts move towards linking our concerns with the quality of life to those of economic and political structure. Andre Gorz, as this little volume bears witness, has taken up where Herbert Marcuse left off. "The only things worthy of each," Gorz says, "are those which are good for all." This book is worthy indeed of each.
