Abstract
Faced with sociological upheavals unknown since the second industrial revolution, society is sustaining two opposing visions of the coming months and years. One is rigid and closed: populism. The other is committed to redefining a modern humanism which is respectful to humans, their liberty and their dignity. Never, since the nineteenth century, have human societies, whether in developed or emerging countries, been so divided, nor the labour markets so polarised, and the middle classes produced by Fordism so fragile. For the first time in a long time, the spread of technology is playing a part in the gradual disappearance of politics and the emergence of a rejection of our democratic society.
