Jean-Pierre Lefebvre's 'Déraison d'État: Déshérence des villes' explores the socio-political dynamics of urban decline and the failures of capitalist structures post-2008 financial crisis. The book critiques the persistence of economic inequality and environmental degradation, arguing for a shift towards more democratic and sustainable urban governance. Lefebvre draws on Marxist theory and the works of philosophers like Hegel and Bourdieu to propose a future of self-management and reduced state power. Intended for readers interested in urban studies and political philosophy, the book advocates for grassroots empowerment and transparency to address systemic issues in modern cities. |
