La dette sacralisée
À partir d’un double regard s’appuyant sur l’observation des pratiques et des discours d’un côté, et sur l’analyse statistique de l’autre, l’ouvrage interroge les ressorts de l’enfermement dans l’endettement pour les catégories non-stabilisées et précarisées de la population Suisse dans le contexte du capitalisme financiarisé contemporain. Il s’inscrit dans les analyses qui montrent que le paiement de la dette s’est imposé dans l’histoire économique récente comme une obligation morale au-dessus de toute justice sociale, transformation ayant ouvert la voie à la domination des créanciers dans les choix politiques et au creusement des inégalités, dans un contexte qui conduit à accroitre la polarisation économique entre les différentes catégories de la population.

Les Inséparables
Connaissez-vous cet oiseau qui ne supporte pas d'être séparé de son partenaire ? Quatre jeunes aux familles particulières tissent des liens tourmentés, pourtant indéfectibles. À l'aube de leur vie d'adultes, personne ne les imagine séparés. La violence du drame qui les percute les force à voler avec une aile en moins. Le chemin vers la résilience est long, mais leur permet de surmonter l'épreuve du deuil, de trois façons bien différentes. Ensemble, ou chacun de leur côté, ces oiseaux partagent leurs souffrances, s'imprégnant jusqu'à la moelle de la soif d'exister de celui qui ne reviendra pas. « Je laisse un bout de moi sur Terre et dans le coeur de ceux que j'aime. Toujours. Je crois qu'au fond, c'est ça que je cherchais. Dans une pièce, sur le grand théâtre de la vie, jouer le rôle de la cicatrice qui tire un peu, qu'on n'oublie pas. »
Financeirização
"This outstanding and well-researched volume is fundamental to understand the process and consequences of financialization in developing countries, a must-read book for all concerned. In particular, policymakers would do well to learn the lessons, from macroeconomic to social policies." ISABEL ORTIZ, Director Global Social Justice Program, Initiative for Policy Dialogue, former Director at the United Nations ILO and UNICEF "A financeirização surgiu com o capitalismo neoliberal. Foi uma fase do capitalismo dominada por uma coalizão de rentistas e financistas. Aos primeiros interessa juros altos e dividendos elevados, aos segundos, belas comissões e juros igualmente altos. O resultado estÃ...

American Bonds
How the American government has long used financial credit programs to create economic opportunities Federal housing finance policy and mortgage-backed securities have gained widespread attention in recent years because of the 2008 financial crisis, but issues of government credit have been part of American life since the nation’s founding. From the 1780s, when a watershed national land credit policy was established, to the postwar foundations of our current housing finance system, American Bonds examines the evolution of securitization and federal credit programs. Sarah Quinn shows that since the Westward expansion, the U.S. government has used financial markets to manage America’s comp...
Dividends of Development
This book explains how U.S. securities markets became central to the institutional fabric of U.S. capitalism. It claims that the U.S. securities markets took a particular, even peculiar, form that reflected the distinctive trajectory of economic development that the United States experienced from the Civil War through World War 1.
Solo Crossing
When a man loses everything, that is when the possibilities begin. Ron had it all: the career, the big house, the sailing hobby, the great girlfriend. He always looked ahead, never behind. Never had to. Until the day it all went away. Left with nothing but his boat and a childhood dream of circumnavigating the globe, he set sail, looking for the future. When a storm lashes him during his first crossing, he finally looks at what he left behind. Come sail the seas in this opener to M. L. Buchman’s latest short story series.
The Land of Too Much
The Land of Too Much presents a simple but powerful hypothesis that addresses three questions: Why does the United States have more poverty than any other developed country? Why did it experience an attack on state intervention starting in the 1980s, known today as the neoliberal revolution? And why did it recently suffer the greatest economic meltdown in seventy-five years? Although the United States is often considered a liberal, laissez-faire state, Monica Prasad marshals convincing evidence to the contrary. Indeed, she argues that a strong tradition of government intervention undermined the development of a European-style welfare state. The demand-side theory of comparative political eco...
White Flight
During the civil rights era, Atlanta thought of itself as "The City Too Busy to Hate," a rare place in the South where the races lived and thrived together. Over the course of the 1960s and 1970s, however, so many whites fled the city for the suburbs that Atlanta earned a new nickname: "The City Too Busy Moving to Hate." In this reappraisal of racial politics in modern America, Kevin Kruse explains the causes and consequences of "white flight" in Atlanta and elsewhere. Seeking to understand segregationists on their own terms, White Flight moves past simple stereotypes to explore the meaning of white resistance. In the end, Kruse finds that segregationist resistance, which failed to stop the ...
