Since 2008, the Fourniret affair has been devastating France and Belgium. The serial killer Michel Fourniret was sentenced to life imprisonment for a series of kidnappings, rapes and murders. His wife, Monique Olivier, was also given life imprisonment with preventive detention of twenty-eight years. Their shadows continue to hover over some thirty unsolved murders.

Ethics in business is not a new topic and has been intensely discussed since the emergence of the so-called limited companies. However, privatization, technological and digital innovation, changes in moral perception, economic and financial crises and globalization stir a more recent debate on how companies should behave in our societies. This book starts from the position that ethics in business should imply an open debate on norms and values, using a sound methodology to get there. Ethics should cross borders: not only the borders of a country, but also the borders of someone’s moral imagination. Ethics should not only be about harmony but also about conflict (and how to deal with that)....

Although surveillance hit the headlines with revelations by Edward Snowden that the National Security Agency had been tracking phone calls worldwide, surveillance of citizens by their governments actually has been conducted for centuries. Only now, with the advent of modern technologies, it has exponentially evolved so that today you can barely step out your door without being watched or recorded in some way. In addition to the political and security surveillance unveiled by the Snowden revelations, think about corporate surveillance: each swipe of your ID card to enter your office is recorded, not to mention your Internet activity. Or economic surveillance: what you buy online or with a cre...

C'est une sorte d'autobiographie déguisée où il est question de la course au bonheur d'une génération de trentenaires arrivée à un carrefour incertain.
Depuis peu, en France, le régime carné vacille. Études scientifiques à l’appui, on sait désormais que ne plus manger de viande, ne plus boire de lait est un bienfait pour la santé individuelle. Un bienfait pour l’environnement. Une démarche éthique. En France, pays à forte culture viandarde, 5 % des Français seraient végétariens ou vegan (sondage Harris Interactive 2017). C’est un petit chiffre alors même qu’il est désormais admis que la planète ne pourra subvenir aux besoins de sa population qu’à une condition : bouleverser ses habitudes alimentaires. Convertie au véganisme sur le tard et fervente défenseuse d’une version mesurée, Laurence Pieau, journaliste d...
