Unlike Adenauer, he was               neither a member of the established lite, nor did fate place him               close to the centre of power. His social and economic background               and education did not seem to point towards a grand future. He was               a provincial and his modest youth did not in the least indicate a               man who would later be regarded as a person with the power to modifier               la vie politique dune poque entiere (Gerbet, 1997).</font></p>               <b><i>               <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial"><a name="article2"></a>La               &quot;fin du travail&quot;: une perspective amricaine<br>               </font></i><font face="Arial">Jean-Baptiste Nicolas</font></b><font face="Arial">,               Promotion Leonardo da Vince</font></p>               <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><font face="Arial" size="2">Aux Etats-Unis               comme en Europe, le monde acadmique semble de plus en plus               largement dispos  admettre lhypothse dune rarfaction               du travail non pas lie aux fluctuations conomiques               conjoncturelles, mais inhrente  lvolution des structures               productives capitalistes.
