Mécréance et discrédit is an essay by the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler, published in 2004. In this book, Stiegler analyzes the crisis of belief in industrial democracies and the decline of the industrial model based on the production/consumption split. The author argues that this crisis leads to a dead end for capitalism and the cretinization of consumers, deliberately organized by television channels.
