A chapter in The European Economy in 100 Quotes, 2024, pp 159-168 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Émile Verhaeren writes about the monument of gold, Amelie Nothomb and Sister Emmanuelle on adversarial confrontation and inequalities. For Amelie Nothomb, the Parisian woman and France are the embodiment of brand image. The novelist dismisses predictions as the heights of foolishness. Christian Gollier invites readers to visualise a tonne of carbon in terms of equivalents and makes the case for degrowth and the energy transition. For Hugo Claus and Sister Emmanuelle, life is an exercise in endurance. For Maurice Maeterlinck, it is knowing how to react to life’s events that matter. Gustave de Molinari discourses on economic freedom, ownership, economic science, monetary policy, taxation, statism, the principle of authority, the consumer, and the monopoly.
