French term or phrase: le tout économique
Face à la prédominance de l’idéologie libérale au sein de l’Europe, avec une vision
quasi-exclusive du « tout économique », nous avons dégagé 6 axes
thématiques majeurs pour aller à l’encontre de cette idéologie.

Il faut renouveler notre vocabulaire pour contrer le discours du tout
économique dans lequel nous sommes baignés.

agree  Ben_ (X): "Economics is everything" is a Karl Marx quote as well I believe, which may or may not strike the right note! Though I'd probably go for "attitude" instead of approach.

  -> Thanks, Ben. Right. "Attitude" did not occur to me at the moment.
agree  Daryo: could also work// "Economics is everything" is not a Karl Marx quote (but an oversimplification of his theories) as far as I can remember...

  -> Thanks, Dario!
agree  nweatherdon: I agree with the "economics is everything" part, but I think **"economics is everything" view of the world** to better account for "vision"
