    Abstract

    They lived in a strange and shimmering world, the bedazzling universe of a market culture, in prisons of plenty, in the bewitching traps of comfort and happiness. Where were the dangers? Where were the threats? In the past men fought in their millions, and millions still do fight, for their crust of bread. Jéróme and Sylvie did not guite believe you could go into a battle for a chesterfield settee.
