Abstract: The common good must be protected against the unscrupulous violence of financial profitability and greed. Globalization creates interconnected networks that are becoming increasingly fragile and mostly dependent on private operators for profit. The climate crisis is there, scientific analyses affirm it, but the actors are incapable of taking the decisions that could prevent it. In an analysis known as "enlightened catastrophism", it is a matter of convincing economic actors and citizens of the mandatory imminence of the crisis and using the past as a guide. "What should have been done to prevent it? ». Then, it is a question of giving oneself some rules of action, which does not violently eliminate all the past, but organizes the present differently and prepares the future.
