WHEN THE IMPROBABLE HAPPENS
SO DOES A DIFFERENT FUTURE

Rights Holder: La mer salée
Original Language: French

The only sure thing is the improbable and it opens up doors to other, unforeseen opportunities…

In the spring of 2020, the improbable happened. The unthinkable too: the world economy came to a halt. Who could have imagined that? Nobody. But now we know that an off switch does indeed exist. The economic collapse was not destiny, it was a choice.

History is a succession of improbable events that come one after the other that lead to a future that was unimaginable just a few months earlier.

Each shock, every illness, must be considered as indicators to rectify humanity’s mortifying trajectory. Each crisis is an opportunity to learn something that will allow for innovation, to think differently, to reevaluate our relationship with time, work, money and others. In nature, every constraint is a source of innovation. Humanity must learn to find inspiration in order to self-correct its path to a different, better future.

Yannick Roudaut worked as a journalist covering the world of finance for over 15 years before turning his attention to the environment as the concerned father of two girls. His previous works include: L’Alter Entreprise (Dunod 2008), La Nouvelle Controverse (La Mer Salée 2013), Zéro Pollution (La Mer Salée 2016).
