Economic and ecological crisis: let's dare to make breakthrough decisions.

Summary In this note, we defend the idea that the Covid-19 pandemic, beyond the human tragedies it brings, is a warning shot and, by the same token, an opportunity to be seized to make our societies more resilient in the face of future shocks and to truly engage in their ecological conversion. This confinement, this enclosure of our economies, proves to us that radical choices can be made when the emergency is perceived and human lives are threatened. At the end of this health crisis, the State will have to renew its anticipatory and planning functions in order to set the course for the reorientation of our economic, financial and social systems on a temporal scale that goes beyond that of electoral cycles.
