En décembre 2012, la France, stupéfaite, découvre que Jérôme Cahuzac, le brillant ministre socialiste du Budget sous la présidence de François Hollande, responsable de la lutte contre la fraude fiscale, serait titulaire d'un compte bancaire en Suisse non déclaré. Et très vite il apparaît que le premier des gendarmes s'avère être un fraudeur de belle envergure ! Monique Pinçon-Chariot et Michel Pinçon, sociologues, ouvrent un gros dossier : comment cela a-t-il pu se produire, à ce niveau de l'État ? Qui savait ? Pourquoi a-t-il été si difficile de révéler et de prouver les faits ? Comment expliquer l'attitude ingénue assumée par l'accusé ? En septembre 2016, ils vont au tribunal suivre chaque instant du procès. Bientôt accompagnés du dessinateur Étienne Lécroart, ils épluchent les documents, poursuivent l'enquête pour nous dévoiler ici tous les ressorts et les arcanes de ce système bien plus vaste et collectif qu'il n'y paraît. Le trio à la pédagogie vivante, concrète et pleine d'humour parvient à faire du plus complexe montage financier un mécano drolatique. Pour nous faire comprendre. Pour nous faire réagir. Car si nous n'y prenons garde, la classe des riches s'affranchira définitivement de ses devoirs de solidarité nationale.

Firms are central to trade policy-making. Some analysts even suggest that they dictate policy on the basis of their material interests. Cornelia Woll counters these assumptions, arguing that firms do not always know what they want. To be sure, firms lobby hard to attain a desired policy once they have defined their goals. Yet material factors are insufficient to account for these preferences. The ways in which firms are embedded in political settings are much more decisive. Woll demonstrates her case by analyzing the surprising evolution of support from large firms for liberalization in telecommunications and international air transport in the United States and Europe. Within less than a decade, former monopolies with important home markets abandoned their earlier calls for subsidies and protectionism and joined competitive multinationals in the demand for global markets. By comparing the complex evolution of firm preferences across sectors and countries, Woll shows that firms may influence policy outcomes, but policies and politics in turn influence business demands. This is particularly true in the European Union, where the constraints of multilevel decision-making encourage firms to pay lip service to liberalization if they want to maintain good working relations with supranational officials. In the United States, firms adjust their sectoral demands to fit the government's agenda. In both contexts, the interaction between government and firm representatives affects not only the strategy but also the content of business lobbying on global trade.
