N2  - Mankind has gone over to serving the Economy instead of the Economy serving mankind. This reversal of relations between mankind and money has disastrous effects on everyone in as far the resulting precedence of "having" over "being" creates a utilitarian view of mankind which is deeply degrading. It is responsible for the process of dehumanising those people who don't have money or the means to earn it. This process is particularly harmful for moneyless older people who suddenly have to wonder if there is any point in their continuing survival. This reversal of relations between mankind and money could either push them to commit suicide or into senility.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
