Conclusion

In the first part, we analyzed the work of Marx, who posed the fundamental question of progress which does not benefit everyone. We have noted that this question is more relevant than ever, and that Marx's analysis remains relevant today. On the other hand, by integrating the achievements of the social sciences, namely mainly generalized nepotism and cognitive dissonance, we are led to question the solutions proposed by Marx, because they were too linked to the myths of the ideal of enlightenment, contradicted since.

In the second part, we described the core of an updated solution, and in the third part, we discussed the implications on a whole series of related fields, to ultimately constitute a coherent whole, in conformity with current knowledge and expectations.
The basis is not a new policy, which would be "better" than the others, but the overhaul of the decision making system. Indeed, we saw in chapter 4 that it has practically not evolved since Antiquity, and that it is today inept to grasp the new complex problems that the two technological revolutions have brought up, one being that raised by Marx, the other being ecology.

We have passed over in silence some very important subjects such as health or defense, simply because we have no significant elements to contribute to the debate concerning them. This work is not intended to be an encyclopedia, but a societal project which makes it possible to fight so that our children live better than us.

Let’s simply go back to the list of points that seem essential for the system to be viable:

   •   

Establish a formalism to strengthen the rigor of reasoning in strategic decisions, by following the method described in chapters 9 to 11, that is to say by integrating the constraints imposed by cognitive dissonance.

   •   

Limit the hierarchical levels, and the indirections, that is to say value those who do and not those who manage resources, in response to Parkinson's findings.

   •   

Require that IT remains controllable by operational staff, which implies bringing out the honest digital man.

   •   

Finance the activity through banks serving the social project.

   •   

A tax system which mechanically guarantees the inequalities level stability, as well as universal income to support the liberation from mass work.

   •   

Apply the spirit and no longer just the letter of the law to better adapt to the complexity.

   •   

Put an end to unsolicited advertising to allow the ecological transition.

 

This book was written in a period where the dominant feeling is the discouragement resulting from the fact that the current period is looked at mainly in comparison to the period of the glorious thirties, which we have seen that it was an unreproducible side effect of the two world wars of the XXᵉ century. As a result, the prevailing feeling is that our children will not live as well as we do, and we have the impression that the incessant government reforms are just a headlong rush. By taking the height and considering that what we are experiencing is the second revolution of humanity (1), that which began in the XVIIᵉ century, and which will allow humanity to free itself from the constraint of mass work, and by proposing an adapted organization, which takes into account the knowledge brought by sociology, this book provides the support so that the next generation can assign itself a grorious mission, that of completing the transition started four centuries ago .
Remember, however, that, as explained in chapter 23, this positive future can only happen with your active contribution, because at the start, such a book will not spread by itself.
