It then spread to others, especially into politics, by means of the theory of degeneracy. This notion that social order was threatened by the degeneration of the “race” was taken up by many social reformers, all of whose world views came from hygienics, which then became the point of convergence of a whole new social morality. In the minds of the Third Republic's elites, overcoming alcoholism was the way to improve the morals of the popular classes and control their life styles.

It is in terms of an economy (financial, insurance system, confrontation) that the implications of the project could be situated.
