Book Description
L'Europe est engagée dans la création d'une monnaie unique, l'euro, dont les exigences déterminent aujourd'hui la plupart des grands choix économiques et politiques. Paradoxalement, les conditions de réussite de ce projet, ses risques d'échec et son coût effectif ne sont jamais évoqués avec clarté devant les citoyens. Tout se passe comme s'il y avait là un tabou absolu. C'est ce tabou que le livre de Gérard Lafay veut briser. Au-delà des rhétoriques convenues, à mille lieues du pamphlet autant que du plaidoyer partisan, il s'agit de " mettre à plat " les éléments d'un débat occulté. L'auteur fait ressortir les contradictions d'une logique qui cherche désespérément à combiner le libéralisme de type américain et un archémonétarisme allemand ; logique qui, pour la France, se révèle extraordinairement coûteuse en termes de chômage, de croissance et de souffrance sociale. Comment se déterminer en connaissance de cause ? Gérard Lafay met cette grande question à la portée du citoyen.

The Power of Creative Destruction
Author: Philippe Aghion
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674971167
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
From one of the world’s leading economists and his coauthors, a cutting-edge analysis of what drives economic growth and a blueprint for prosperity under capitalism. Crisis seems to follow crisis. Inequality is rising, growth is stagnant, the environment is suffering, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed every crack in the system. We hear more and more calls for radical change, even the overthrow of capitalism. But the answer to our problems is not revolution. The answer is to create a better capitalism by understanding and harnessing the power of creative destruction—innovation that disrupts, but that over the past two hundred years has also lifted societies to previously unimagined prosperity. To explain, Philippe Aghion, Céline Antonin, and Simon Bunel draw on cutting-edge theory and evidence to examine today’s most fundamental economic questions, including the roots of growth and inequality, competition and globalization, the determinants of health and happiness, technological revolutions, secular stagnation, middle-income traps, climate change, and how to recover from economic shocks. They show that we owe our modern standard of living to innovations enabled by free-market capitalism. But we also need state intervention with the appropriate checks and balances to simultaneously foster ongoing economic creativity, manage the social disruption that innovation leaves in its wake, and ensure that yesterday’s superstar innovators don’t pull the ladder up after them to thwart tomorrow’s. A powerful and ambitious reappraisal of the foundations of economic success and a blueprint for change, The Power of Creative Destruction shows that a fair and prosperous future is ultimately ours to make.

A Theory of Capitalist Regulation
Author: Michel Aglietta
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1784782408
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 556
Book Description
Aglietta's path-breaking book is the first attempt at a rigorous historical theory of the whole development of US capitalism, from the Civil War to the Carter presidency. A major document of the "Regulation School" of Marxist economics, it was received as the boldest book in its field since the classic studies of Paul Baran, Paul Sweezy and Harry Braverman. This edition includes a substantial new postface by Aglietta which brings regulation theory face to face with capitalism at the beginning of the new millennium.

Blockchain: Capabilities, Economic Viability, and the Socio-Technical Environment
Author: Nils Braun-Dubler
Publisher: vdf Hochschulverlag AG
ISBN: 3728140163
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
Blockchain is widely considered a new key technology. The Foundation for Technology Assessment (TA-SWISS) has proposed a comprehensive assessment of blockchain technologies. With this publication, TA-SWISS provides the much-needed social contextualisation of blockchain. The first, more technical part of the study takes an in-depth look at how blockchain functions and examines the economic potential of this technology. By analysing multiple real-world applications, the study sheds light on where the blockchain has advantages over traditional applications and where existing technologies continue to be the better solution. The second part of the study examines how blockchain became mainstream. It explores the origins of blockchain in the early history of information technology and computer networks. The study also reveals the impact blockchain has on industrial and public spaces. Finally, it discusses the social implications and challenges of blockchain against the background of a new socio-technical environment.

Assemblee Nationale, Bundestag and the European Union
Author: Anja Thomas
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783848747726
Category : Europe
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
The growing importance of national parliaments is one feature of the stronger differentiation within the EU. Habermasian expectations of an increasing consensus on political norms seem to be invalidated by current events. In her book, in which she draws on her award-winning PhD thesis, Anja Thomas makes an important theoretical and empirical contribution to our understanding of the social causes of this development. Analysing EU affairs in the Assemblee nationale and Bundestag since 1979, she uncovers a paradox: increasing experience with the EU leads to national institutions growing in importance for MPs discourse on the role of parliaments in the EU. Revisiting social theory, in particular Max Webers old institutionalism, the author presents a new model that explains this phenomenon. This book should be read by students of both parliaments in the EU and European integration processes.

Labour Rights as Human Rights
Author: Philip Alston
Publisher: Collected Courses of the Acade
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Are efforts to protect workers' rights compatible with the forces of globalization? How can minimum standards designed to protect labour rights be implemented in a world in which national labour law is more and more at the mercy of international forces beyond its control? And does it makeany difference if we see rights such as the right to freedom of association, to non-discrimination in the workplace, to freedom from child labour, and to safe and healthy working conditions in terms of international human rights law? Or are they more appropriately seen as 'principles' to bepromoted as and where appropriate?The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labour rights are to be protected in a globalized economy. But the report cards they give to the World Trade Organization, the European Union, NAFTA, and the Free Trade Agreement of theAmericas are generally very critical. While there is a strong rhetorical commitment to labour rights, at least on the part of the US and the EU, the substance of what has been achieved to date is hardly impressive. The role of the International Labour Organization is central and the authorsexplore some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labour movement in the years ahead.
