Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les Etats sont-ils les plus grands faux-monnayeurs de l'histoire, et doit-on, comme on faisait à leurs semblables du Moyen Age, les mettre à bouillir dans des chaudières ? Lénine était-il communiste, lui qui écrivait qu'il valait "mieux marcher provisoirement avec les béquilles du capitalisme que de ne pas marcher du tout ?" Cambon, qui institua le Grand Livre de la Dette publique le 24 août 1793, songeait-il à la rembourser quand il s'exclamait: "L'or n'est que du fumier" ? L'intendant français du Canada, Jacques de Meulles, lorsqu'il imaginait en 1685, de donner une valeur marchande à des cartes à jouer pour suppléer à la rareté des moyens de paiement dans la colonie, se doutait-il qu'il inventait la première monnaie de papier du monde occidental ? Adorée ou détestée, proscrite ou imposée, la monnaie joue dans les nations le rôle du sang dans le corps humain. Avec une monnaie malade, les nations s'anémient; avec une monnaie saine, elles peuvent prospérer. En nous contant son histoire, René Sédillot renouvelle celle des peuples qui tous ont dû s'assigner des règles monétaires pour accéder à la civilisation de l'échange. Les aventures peu morales des grandes monnaies, l'inflation, la démonétisation de l'or, autant d'étapes vers un statut monétaire de plus en plus abstrait Demain, la monétique tuera-t-elle la monnaie ? En supprimant apparemment les espèces, elle ne remet pas en cause les fondements de l'économie.

Download or read book White Magic written by Lothar Müller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper is older than the printing press, and even in its unprinted state it was the great network medium behind the emergence of modern civilization. In the shape of bills, banknotes and accounting books it was indispensible to the economy. As forms and files it was essential to bureaucracy. As letters it became the setting for the invention of the modern soul, and as newsprint it became a stage for politics. In this brilliant new book Lothar Müller describes how paper made its way from China through the Arab world to Europe, where it permeated everyday life in a variety of formats from the thirteenth century onwards, and how the paper technology revolution of the nineteenth century paved the way for the creation of the modern daily press. His key witnesses are the works of Rabelais and Grimmelshausen, Balzac and Herman Melville, James Joyce and Paul Valéry. Müller writes not only about books, however: he also writes about pamphlets, playing cards, papercutting and legal pads. We think we understand the ?Gutenberg era?, but we can understand it better when we explore the world that underpinned it: the paper age. Today, with the proliferation of digital devices, paper may seem to be a residue of the past, but Müller shows that the humble technology of paper is in many ways the most fundamental medium of the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic and monetary union in the European Union represents a massive change for Europe and for the world.

The book examines the motives that inspired European political leaders, the strategies that they pursued, and the institutions that were used to achieve monetary union. Drawing on a wide range of sources and unprecedented research and interviews, the book combines careful political analysis with new information about the way in which European Monetary Union was negotiated. It delves into the complex forces at work in Europe, including the cross-national political interactions, to produce an authoritative account of the boldest and riskiest venture in the history of European integration.

Download or read book World and Worldhood Monde et Mondan it written by Institut International de Philosoph and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book philosophers try to answer the following question: What is globalization and what does "globe" or "world" (monde) signify? Rémi Brague returns to the Greek idea of the cosmos in order to track the worldhood (mondanéité) of the world, that is, the process by which the idea of the world is formed. Don Ihde shows how a world has developed, in which technologies are no longer considered neutral means serving the ends of human action, but become the very means by which people exist in the world. Vittorio Mathieu describes the economical world at two levels – that of the individual and that of society. Tomonobu Imamichi analyses the capacity of aesthetic experience to disclose a world other than the world of technological efficiency. Francisco Miró Quesada C. emphasises that the great political questions are not solvable without worldviews that express value systems. David Rasmussen describes sensus communis as a cosmopolitan concept, which founds a political globalization of the world. And Peter Kemp attempts to grasp the meaning of that globalization upon which the destiny of our planet depends.

Download or read book Human Kindness and the Smell of Warm Croissants written by Ruwen Ogien and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Kindness and the Smell of Warm Croissants makes philosophy fun, tactile, and popular. Moral thinking is simple, Ruwen Ogien argues, and as inherent as the senses. In our daily experiences, in the situations we confront and in the scenes we witness, we develop an understanding of right and wrong as sophisticated as the moral outlook of the world's most gifted philosophers. By drawing on this knowledge to navigate life's most perplexing problems, ethics becomes second nature. Ogien explores, through experimental philosophy and other methods, the responses nineteen real-world conundrums provoke. Is a short, mediocre life better than no life at all? Is it acceptable to kill a healthy person so his organs can save five others? Would you swap a "natural" life filled with frustration, disappointment, and partial success for a world in which all of your needs are met, but through artificial and mechanical means? Ogien doesn't seek to show how difficult it is to determine right from wrong or how easy it is for humans to become monsters or react like saints. Helping us tap into the wisdom and feeling we already possess in our ethical "toolboxes," Ogien instead encourages readers to question moral presuppositions and rules; embrace an intuitive sense of dignity, virtue, and justice; and pursue a pluralist ethics suited to the principles of human kindness.

Download or read book The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu written by Maurice Joly and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joly's (1831-78) Dialogue aux enfers entre Machiavel et Montesquieu is the major source of one of the world's most infamous and damaging forgeries, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. That, however, was concocted some two decades after he died, and American political scientist Waggoner points to Joly's own text for evidence that he was not anti-semitic and was an intransigent enemy of the kind of tyranny the forgery served during the 1930s. He translates the text and discusses Joly's intentions in writing it and his contribution to the understanding of modern politics. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
