Abstract

Le nom de Nobel est célèbre dans le monde entier, mais l’homme demeure méconnu. Discret de son vivant, fuyant les feux de la rampe et les mondanités, il a été éclipsé après sa mort par l’éclat médiatique des prix qu’il a institués. Pourtant, sa riche personnalité mérite l’attention. Par ses inventions et ses réalisations industrielles, ce francophile passionné a contribué plus que quiconque à remodeler la planète tout en rêvant d’être écrivain. Cet ouvrage évoque les différentes facettes des activités d’Alfred Nobel, non seulement celles qui ont assuré sa fortune, mais aussi celles plus intimes d’un humaniste convaincu et d’un pacifiste engagé – un paradoxe parmi d’autres, puisqu’il s’est largement illustré dans la technologie des armes. Après quoi se pose la question des prix qui portent son nom. Pourquoi cet homme ayant tendance à fuir la compagnie de ses semblables a-t-il voulu mettre sa fortune au service de l’humanité ? Comment l’institution des prix Nobel s’est-elle mise en place malgré de multiples obstacles ? Et de quelle manière les volontés du défunt ont-elles été interprétées par les différents comités Nobel pendant plus d’un siècle ?

Abstract

È noto a tutti che i premi Nobel sono il riconoscimento più importante nel mondo in campo scientifico, letterario, economico e sociale. Molti meno ricordano invece chi abbia effettivamente vinto il premio Nobel ciascun anno; e, esclusi gli specialisti nel campo, veramente pochi conoscono il lavoro dei vincitori e sanno cosa hanno fatto di così importante da meritare l’ambito premio. Scopo di questo libro è proprio spiegare, soprattutto ai non esperti, il significato e l’importanza del lavoro dei vincitori dei Premi Nobel del 2007 (e di premi analoghi assegnati per la Matematica e per l’Informatica, rispettivamente il premio Abel e il premio Turing). Otto presentazioni agili e comprensibili, di alta divulgazione, che coprono argomenti il cui interesse e attualità è certificato dal Nobel: dai cambiamenti climatici alle cellule staminali, dalla chimica delle superfici a come funzionano gli hard disk, dai compilatori alla probabilità alla economia teorica a Doris Lessing.

Abstract

Economic theory may be speculative, but its impact is powerful and real. Since the 1970s, it has been closely associated with a sweeping change around the world?the “market turn.” This is what Avner Offer and Gabriel Söderberg call the rise of market liberalism, a movement that, seeking to replace social democracy, holds up buying and selling as the norm for human relations and society. Our confidence in markets comes from economics, and our confidence in economics is underpinned by the Nobel Prize in Economics, which was first awarded in 1969. Was it a coincidence that the market turn and the prize began at the same time? The Nobel Factor, the first book to describe the origins and power of the most important prize in economics, explores this and related questions by examining the history of the prize, the history of economics since the prize began, and the simultaneous struggle between market liberals and social democrats in Sweden, Europe, and the United States. The Nobel Factor tells how the prize, created by the Swedish central bank, emerged from a conflict between central bank orthodoxy and social democracy. The aim was to use the halo of the Nobel brand to enhance central bank authority and the prestige of market-friendly economics, in order to influence the future of Sweden and the rest of the developed world. And this strategy has worked, with sometimes disastrous results for societies striving to cope with the requirements of economic theory and deregulated markets. --

Abstract

In a relatively brief but masterful recounting, Professor Ulf Lagerkvist traces the origins and seminal developments in the field of chemistry, highlighting the discoveries and personalities of the individuals who transformed the ancient myths of the Greeks, the musings of the alchemists, the mystique of phlogiston into the realities and the laws governing the properties and behavior of the elements; in short, how chemistry became a true science. A centerpiece of this historical journey was the triumph by Dmitri Mendeleev who conceived the Periodic Law of the Elements, the relation between the
