This book, a plea in favor of the industrial civilization, today accused of all evils, goes on a crusade against the green prophets who, at the time of the first confinement, announced the demise of the "world before". Apostles of an often radical gospel of pre-industrial regression, deep ecology, degrowth, refusal of globalization, imposition of tribal models - the groups of green prophets (from Pierre Rabhi to Greta Thunberg and Nicolas Hulot) are numerous and fragmented into a multitude of chapels that all stick to believing in a return to nature. But how can we deny emerging countries, which legitimately yearn for the advantages of technical and industrial progress? This incisive and well-informed essay, based on the new prophets’ rethorics and the analysis of their sources, mixing economic sciences and political philosophy, allows us to map this new-born party of anti-moderns that is gaining ground in the public opinion, to understand the reasons for this new-fangled illusion, and, to unravel the reasons for the regressive utopia that it promotes.
