Abstract

The Company of Strangers shows us the remarkable strangeness, and fragility, of our everyday lives. This completely revised and updated edition includes a new chapter analyzing how the rise and fall of social trust explain the unsustainable boom in the global economy over the past decade and the financial crisis that succeeded it. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, history, psychology, and literature, Paul Seabright explores how our evolved ability of abstract reasoning has allowed institutions like money, markets, cities, and the banking system to provide the foundations of social trust that we need in our everyday lives. Even the simple acts of buying food and clothing depend on an astonishing web of interaction that spans the globe. How did humans develop the ability to trust total strangers with providing our most basic needs?

Abstract

L'auteur étudie les mécanismes de l'émergence récente du "biologisme social" et des thèses de l'inégalité naturelle, fondement du racisme "scientifique" en vogue ; il trace un parallèle entre la crise socio-économique et le développement de certaines idées biologiques conservatrices. Prenant l'exemple des Etats-Unis, il montre comment, avec la crise économique des années 70 renaît l'idée de la méritocratie, de l'inégalité naturelle, de l'infériorité des noirs et apparaît un mouvement néo-conservateur où se retrouvent de nombreux intellectuels, scientifiques. En 1975, paraît le livre de Edward O. Wilson : "Sociobiology : the new synthesis". C. Haghighat analyse en détail toutes les thèses de cet auteur dont la théorie centrale est que l'organisation de la société est exclusivement le prolongement de la nature biologique de l'homme. Sont ensuite étudiés les différents courants biologiques en fonction du rôle qu'ils jouent dans l'approvisionnement du libéralisme en idées réactionnaires et racistes : les théories héréditaristes de l'inégalité, le réductionnisme éthologique, la nouvelle droite en France.

Abstract

Paul Shepard was one of the most profound and original thinkers of our time. Seminal works like The Tender Carnivore and the Sacred Game, Thinking Animals, and Nature and Madness introduced readers to new and provocative ideas about humanity and its relationship to the natural world. Throughout his long and distinguished career, Shepard returned repeatedly to his guiding theme, the central tenet of his thought: that our essential human nature is a product of our genetic heritage, formed through thousands of years of evolution during the Pleistocene epoch, and that the current subversion of that Pleistocene heritage lies at the heart of today's ecological and social ills. Coming Home to the Pleistocene provides the fullest explanation of that theme. The book explicitly addresses the fundamental question raised by Shepard's work: What can we do to re-create a life more in tune with our genetic roots? In this book, Shepard presents concrete suggestions for fostering the kinds of ecological settings and cultural practices that are optimal for human health and well-being.

Abstract

The two most topical issues in current financial markets deal with the causes of the recent financial crisis and the means to prevent future crises. This book addresses the latter and stresses a major shift in most countries toward a better understanding of financial stability and how it can be achieved. In particular, the papers in this volume examine the recent change in emphasis at central banks with regard to financial stability. For example: What were the cross-country differences in emphasis on financial stability in the past"" Did these differences appear to affect the extent
