At the heart of these reflections, we wanted to think of this path of economic happiness shared according to the order of freedom, responsibility and creativity of citizens, through the channel of development and promotion of anthropological enrichment: an energy in which Congo and Africa must invest the best part of their will and their genius.
It is an order that appears to us mainly as a demand to get out of ultra capitalism, this system of which the DRC is currently an easy prey, and Africa, an irresistible magnet. To unravel the imperatives, we offer the Congolese educated public our reading of the book The Human Cause written by an important witness of our time: the French thinker Patrick Viveret. His book is both a hymn to the future and a cry of confidence in man's creative capacity. We believe that its substance is of the utmost interest to the concerns of Congolese man and the utopias of the whole of Africa, especially when it comes, like today, to re-found the economy on the values of the human being for the whole of humanity.
At the same time, we propose an African reading of another great European book: The Economy of Good and Evil, written by Czech thinker Tomas Sedlacek. It is a masterful work whose ambition is to seek “the spirit of economics” by visiting the entire history of economic visions from the oldest myths of humanity to our present day. Once highlighted what the Czech economist saw and defined, we wanted to know what Africa can offer as anthropological foundations to the economy that the world needs now, in the context of a global crisis of a system less and less able to guide the “economic spirit” in a clear and fertile way.
