Stéphane Hessel
“L'intérêt général doit primer sur l'intérêt particulier, le juste partage des richesses créées par le monde du travail primer sur le pouvoir de l'argent. La Résistance propose « une organisation rationnelle de l'économie assurant la subordination des intérêts particuliers à l'intérêt général et affranchie de la dictature professionnelle instaurée à l'image des États fascistes », et le Gouvernement provisoire de la République s'en fait le relais.”
Stéphane Hessel, Indignez-vous !
