From Ancient Greece to our modern days, capitalistic forms of exchange have deep roots in human societies. And throughout history, the march to freedom has prevailed over the influence of religions.
On FRANCE 24, Jacques Attali presents 15 episodes of "Lessons for the Future.” Airing Tuesdays at 6:55pm Paris time, and Mondays at 6:10pm in Arabic, the programme takes the form of three-minute “chapters” that trace 2,000 years of economic history. The programme is inspired by Attali’s best-seller "Lessons for the Future" ("Leçons pour l’avenir", Fayard 2006).
