La cause semble entendue : le krach financier d'octobre 2008 incombe aux crédits hypothécaires du marché immobilier américain, les fameux subprimes. En réalité, comme l'expliquent dans ce livre lumineux deux éminents spécialistes de la finance internationale, les racines du mal sont beaucoup plus profondes. Mus par une sorte d'ivresse technique et une avidité pécuniaire démesurée, les professionnels des marchés ont fait de la « finance pour la finance », comme on fait de l'« art pour l'art ». Encouragés par les économistes théoriciens de la finance, dont plusieurs prix Nobel, ils ont succombé à un véritable péché d'arrogance. En apportant leur caution scientifique aussi bien au travail des « quants » (les experts des modèles mathématiques d'ingénierie financière) qu'à celui des équipes de gestion des risques, les théoriciens ont conforté les praticiens dans le fantasme d'avoir dompté tous les risques. Or, comme le montrent les auteurs, contrairement à ses prétentions, la théorie financière est bien loin d'offrir cette garantie. Errements des marchés, perversion du « génome théorique » de la finance et carences de la régulation ont produit une véritable dislocation du système financier. Seule une refonte profonde de celui-ci peut le guérir. Elle risque fort de se révéler longue et douloureuse pour l'« économie réelle » et ses agents, salariés et entrepreneurs.

Striding explores the modernization process by outlining the economics of agriculture, growth theories of economic development, and problems with growth. During the last century, policy makers and the public acquired a considerable interest in economics. As a result, this heightened awareness enhanced the well-being of society. In 1969, the Nobel Foundation initiated the new prize category of economic sciences and started awarding the prize annually. At the forefront of their field, prize winners have introduced many innovative ideas. Moreover, an evaluation of their ideas reveals valuable nuggets to enrich the professional lives of non-economists. Drawing on publications written by the Laureates, Striding with Economic Giants presents the essence of their thoughts in easy-to-understand concepts for the business and academic communities. This book is perfect for business executives, public policy makers, and economics students. It describes logic and experimental frameworks in mathematics, econometrics, behavior modeling, and game theory. Next, Striding presents microeconomic contributions, including production theory, theory of institutions, fundamental ideas of markets, and consumerism. Then, it reviews financial theory in capital markets, portfolio choice, and asset pricing. The book spotlights contributions to the rule of law, public administration, and political science. It also highlights a growing understanding of human capital by tracing demographic trends and describing health, education, minority, and labor economics. Enhancements to macroeconomic theory are featured in economic mechanisms and cycles, managing the economy, and policy making. Striding explores the modernization process by outlining the economics of agriculture, growth theories of economic development, and problems with growth. It illustrates contributions to international economics in trade, finance, and global public policy. Finally, the book showcases contributions to social justice in social equality, income redistribution, and climate change.
