%X the economic crisis is what illich called £¿a real crisis£¿ because it supports two opposite solutions: 1. increasing dependencies to markets; 2.selectively renounce to certain goods and services. this paper argues for the secondsolution. to make it possible, the history and epistemology of economics are moreimportant than all the micro-and macroeconomics. choosing the first solution willonly increase a characteristic of modern economy which is its ability to generatewealth summits alongside depths of misery. seen as an invitation to selectiverenunciation, the crisis can be a stimulus to the real policy options, that is, theoptions that seriously consider the return of subsistence knowledges that weresubjugated by the economic system.
