The Villa Gillet

The Villa Gillet makes the work of exciting contemporary thinkers accessible to the largest audience possible, by organizing events during the year, and during its festivals : the International Forum on the Novel — happening every year in May since 2007— co-organized with "Le Monde", Walls and Bridges, a ten-day series of events that happened from 2011 to 2013 and Mode d'emploi : un festival des idées — a festival of public debates — initiated in 2012.
Capitalism and Liberal Economics: A Status Report
Place Joannès-Ambre
Lyon 4e
Debat organized as part of "Upsetting truths ", copresented by the Villa Gillet, the Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse and the Opéra de Lyon.
With : Pierre Larrouturou, Joseph Vogl, Jean-Claude Volot
Debate echoes Aaron Copland's The Tender Land directed by Jean Lacornerie // February 1st-9th at the Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse.
What light can be shed on the growing inequality of riches? What can be said of today’s globalized, speculative economic facts? How can they be put into perspective in time and space? Questioning our economic system’s rationality is like revealing an uncomfortable truth: can we really still have faith in it? Should we try to regulate or change it? Can we hope to reconcile economic efficiency and social justice?
Hosted by Sylvain Bourmeau
