Abstract

With its recent multi-partner environmental negotiations, France has sketched the outlines of a new growth model and a new regulation of capitalism, complete with the behavioral norms required by this model. Andre Gorz predicted all that, from 1974 onwards. To read Gorz is to understand the gradual onset of a biopolitical capitalism, an endurable capitalism. His texts are an assertion of autonomy, against what Illich called « the bureaucratic management of human survival ». With Gorz, we necessarily declare ourselves anti-capitalist. A true understanding of political ecology knows that life cannot be capitalized
