Imagination is the oasis of the craziest and most intimate dreams. Our secret island. It is also the hunting ground of any leader, the treasure coveted by every human who manipulates others. It is in the heart of our dreams that power remote-controls choices, that the media sets the scope of what is ready to be dreamed. The times in which one lives are not lived through personal experience; they are interpreted and decided within the framework of a given social system. For a long time, imagination has been concealed by power. It is power’s inheritance. The reader discovers here the matrix of all colonizations, that of imagination. This clandestine imperialism encourages any alternative project to reproduce the dominant discourse. This book deciphers some enigmas of everyday life, in particular the traps of space and the influence of time. It then interrogates the great references which are used to discipline the people, in particular the idea of transcendence and the utopian dream. Finally, it wonders what would become humanity if, breaking this sequence, it seized the fires of imagination. Are other futures possible? The reading of this work can start anywhere; one can devour it in its entirety or contemplate it in small amounts, between two protests, two bus stations, or two naps, according to one’s provisions and tastes. A liberating laugh accompanies these essays on time and the city. They invite us all to reject a fictitious inheritance and to discover our own space, the lost continent of personal dreams and the lived collective dream. * According to my dictionary, "dérobée" seems to mean "hidden" or "secret," but it may also have associated meanings of "stolen" and "saved" — an ambiguity which also seems relevant to the book.

Anarchist thought on economy is compared with economics. The latter has failed if one considers its aims. Indeed, making the "economy of poverty" can be understood in two ways: "suppressing poverty" or "observing the economy of poor countries". Economics is incapable of doing either. By comparison, libertarian ideas don’t form a doctrine. Anarchist theorists and activists obviously challenge such major concepts of economics as property rights and the profit motive; however, their approach to society and social organization has a different and distinct basis. Rather than translating everything into economic terms, they instead devote their attention to the entire set of social relations.
