"'We need to organise politically to defend the weak, empower the many and prepare the ground for reversing the absurdities of capitalism.' - Yanis Varoufakis. 'Capitalism over the past twenty-five years has been an incredible moral good.' - David Brooks. The Munk debate on capitalism: There is a growing belief that the capitalist system no longer works. Inequality is rampant. The environment is being destroyed for profits. In some western nations, life expectancy is even falling.

Sur la première montagne, il faut être ambitieux, stratégique et indépendant. En revanche, sur la deuxième montagne, on construit des relations profondes et on fait des engagements de confiance et de persévérance à long terme.

L'ascension de la deuxième montagne se fait différemment : alors que l'on conquiert la première montagne en identifiant le sommet et en grimpant, c'est la deuxième montagne qui vous conquiert, vous poussant à répondre à l'appel de quelque chose ou de quelqu'un d'autre.
