The book 'The End of Societies' by Alain Touraine, published by Fondo de Cultura Económica in 2016, offers a sociological interpretation of the 2008 crisis. Touraine analyzes how this crisis has led to a separation between the control of resources and cultural values, and explores the need for individuals to reaffirm themselves and regain a sense of community. With 448 pages, this paperback is a profound reflection on the post-social situation and the future of social institutions.
Alain Touraine was a French sociologist. He was research director at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, where he founded the Centre d'étude des mouvements sociaux. Touraine was an important figure in the founding of French sociology of work after World War II and later became a sociologist of social movements, particularly the May 68 student movement in France and the Solidarity trade-union movement in communist Poland.
