Social model

His work examines the formation of a “New Leviathan” on the hypothesis that the higher class of society is striving for a new order based on less equality and less democracy.

His scientific model suggests that the New Leviathan's strategies intimately connect the economic, ethnic, and personal domains. These strategies consist of developing economic flexibility and revocability, continuing immigration and ethnic diversity, and promoting individualistic, hedonistic and consumer values. These strategies result in a weak society dependent on market values ​​and government controls required by the inability of the social body to govern itself. In Hunout's view, they are responsible for most of the troubles of today; if they were reversed, there would be a significant improvement.
