Summary:

Serge Latouche's 'Die Unvernunft der ökonomischen Vernunft' explores the irrationality inherent in economic reason, critiquing the dominance of efficiency and instrumental rationality in Western civilization. Through examining cultural diversity, particularly African and Mediterranean perspectives, Latouche argues for a return to social rationality where relational values are prioritized over economic transactions. The book delves into the consequences of economic hegemony, suggesting that genuine understanding of different cultural practices can offer insights into more reasonable ways of living. Intended for readers interested in cultural studies, economics, and philosophy, it challenges the prevailing economic paradigms and advocates for a precautionary principle in socio-economic development.
