Gaël Giraud (CNRS/Centre d’économie de la Sorbonne) Gaël Giraud will attempt to show that different institutional patterns structure the economic history of the West, whose articulation draws different political configurations: the tribal, the public, the private and the common.  In order to apprehend the interplay of their possible articulation, it is necessary to apprehend institutions from a relational anthropology that deliberately breaks with that of homo oeconomicus. To compose a world in common is to enter into a collective deliberation in order to articulate these schemas in a way that allows us to give a symbolic meaning to living together. The author will suggest that Western modernity is characterized by explicit but uncomfortable consent to such a discernment and the renunciation of the sacralization of one configuration among others. It is here that the modern democratic aspiration takes root. He will then sketch a critique of post-liberalism understood as an attempt, through the alliance of the private and a public subject to the interests of a minority, to break with the modern heritage in order to revive a renewed form of feudalism. Ultimately, he will propose a political renewal of Western modernity as a promotion of the commons.
