This article presents the work of the French thinker and economist Pierre‑Yves Gomez (* 1960). This author or seeks to define the neoliberal model of economics and society, and defends the principles of the Christian social doctrine. Against the background of Gomez’s texts, I attempt to show that the current neoliberal model can lead to a totalitarian conception of power in society. The main manifestation of neoliberalism is the obscuration of genuine human labour and concrete material values. These are replaced by speculation. According to Gomez, the company’s goal, which lies in the development of human persons and society as a whole, is replaced by financial gain. Gomez fights for the human person, concrete human work and the real material world, which are the prerequisites of a just society.
