Our objective is to present the concept of «proletariancondition”, considered by us as the fundamental existential condition (and foundational) of modern finances, which involves men and women deprived of the means of production for their social life,in the situation of «social class» of the proletariat. The (quote, unquote)«class» of the proletariat is the social group of men and women, alienated from the social ownership/control of the means of life production, who are subsumed to a particular historical existential condition: the condition of proletarians.References
