Abstract

L'economiste se presente comme un être avec deux discours fort differents. Le premier se veut scientifique : il vise à expliquer les phenomenes sociaux en recourant generalement à un mode d'approche, l'individualisme methodologique, selon lequel les phenomenes peuvent être expliques à partir des actions des individus et de leurs interactions. Ce discours represente l'economie positive. Le deuxieme type de discours veut juger au lieu de se contenter d'expliquer. C'est l'economie normative. Cette branche devrait plutôt s'appeler "morale economique". Lorsqu'un economiste se prononce s'il faut realiser un projet ou adopter une politique quelconque, il ne fait pas de la science. Le mot "faut" montre bien que la question se situe dans le domaine des prescriptions basees sur des normes. Face au monde reel, il y a deux voies : le comprendre ou vouloir le reformer. La premiere m'apparaît la tâche fondamentale de l'economiste.

Abstract

Principalement fondées sur des enquêtes de terrain, ces études examinent la situation actuelle des petits éditeurs et établissent un bilan démographique des mouvements de création et de disparition de maisons d’édition entre 1988 et 2005. Elles décrivent notamment les conditions de fonctionnement de ces maisons, la spécificité de leurs choix éditoriaux et leurs difficultés d’accès au marché, tout en replaçant dans le contexte général de la profession les perspectives et les attentes de ces petites structures éditoriales. These studies, which are based mainly on on-the-spot surveys, examine the present situation of small publishers and provide a “demographic” record of the birth and demise of publishing houses from 1988 to 2005. The studies describe the conditions under which these publishers operate, their individual editorial policies, their difficulties in penetrating the market, and set the prospects and hopes of these small publishing concerns within the general context of the trade.

Abstract

What makes people decide to vote? In addressing this simple question, André Blais examines the factors that increase or decrease turnout at the aggregate, cross-national level and considers what affects people's decision to vote or to abstain. In doing so, Blais assesses the merits and limitations of the rational choice model in explaining voter behavior. The past few decades have witnessed a rise in the popularity of the rational choice model in accounting for voter turnout, and more recently a groundswell of outspoken opposition to rational choice theory. Blais tackles this controversial s

Abstract

Ainslie argues that our responses to the threat of our own inconsistency determine the basic fabric of human culture. He suggests that individuals are more like populations of bargaining agents than like the hierarchical command structures envisaged by cognitive psychologists. The forces that create and constrain these populations help us understand so much that is puzzling in human action and interaction: from addictions and other self-defeating behaviors to the experience of willfulness, from pathological over-control and self-deception to subtler forms of behavior such as altruism, sadism, gambling, and the 'social construction' of belief. This book integrates approaches from experimental psychology, philosophy of mind, microeconomics, and decision science to present one of the most profound and expert accounts of human irrationality available. It will be of great interest to philosophers and an important resource for professionals and students in psychology, economics and political science.

Abstract

William F. West examines the checkered history of program budgeting (PPB) as a means of rationalizing the allocation of resources within and across government agencies. The book includes an in-depth study of the adoption and effects of PPB at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. West also discusses how the disappointing results of PPB speak more broadly to the goals and assumptions of formal requirements for planning and performance assessment.
