The Lab, the Temple, and the Market tackles these complex questions in four separate essays. Each essay meshes a discussion of development issues and processes with a different system of religious belief: Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, and the Bahá'i Faith. The authors — each a scientist as well as a person of faith — show how religious belief and personal faith can be deeply motivational and strikingly fruitful in scientific pursuits. Further, they emphasize how their faith has brought them a profound understanding of interconnectedness and compassion, and thus a wider perspective and greater

La communauté internationale est plus que jamais engagée dans la lutte contre la pauvreté. La réduction de ce phénomène s'inscrit désormais parmi les objectifs prioritaires des États, dans les axes d'un processus de développement durable et solidaire. Dans l'approche contemporaine des relations entre croissance économique et pauvreté, croissance et inégalités, les économistes ont renoncé à la naïveté des années cinquante et rendu le débat plus complexe que ne l'avaient laissé les travaux pionniers de Kuznets. Cet ouvrage, fruit de la collaboration de chercheurs d'universités du Nord et du Sud,

Jorge Nef responds to one of the most pressing intellectual challenges of the post-Cold War era: the search for an analytical framework that will help us understand this turbulent and chaotic period in human history. His lucid and visionary analysis rests on the concept of mutual vulnerability: that in an increasingly interdependent world, global security is only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. This second edition includes new analyses of the economic crisis in Asia, the transformation of the G-7 into the G-8, the easing of the debt crisis, and Soros' critique of the New World Order. Data and sources are also updated, as are the discussions of conflicts in Africa, the former Yugoslavia, and central Asia.
