On the dignity of the poor and the duties of the rich
Texts preceded by an essay by Alain Supiot

The two sermons and panegyric on poverty written by Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627-1704) are a powerful reminder of our times, when the cult of personal enrichment is universally celebrated, and poverty and economic inequality are on the rise everywhere.
