Architecte millionnaire partie de rien, Céline Wachowski a sa série sur Netflix et des contrats dans le monde entier. Égérie de la modernité, elle est convaincue d’apporter de la beauté au monde. Mais voilà, son projet le plus ambitieux est stoppé net par une polémique : accusée de favoriser la gentrification, elle voit condamnées sa stratégie et ses méthodes de travail. En quelques jours, elle est renvoyée de sa propre entreprise, et amorce une traversée du désert qui l’amène à une méditation sur la culpabilité. Quand l’élite perd pied, quel récit conçoit-elle pour justifier ses privilèges et asseoir sa place dans un monde dont elle a elle-même établi les rè...

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy.

_______________ 'An absorbing volume' - The Spectator _______________ First published in 1989, A Particular Friendship is a collection of letters following Dirk Bogarde's first four memoirs. 'London guests staying hate it. Keeps them awake all night they complain. The bleating in the utter stillness. I heal with it, as you did.' This epistolary collection finds Bogarde at his most honest and touching, engaging in conversation with a woman he has never met and whose only interest in him comes from the simple fact that he now happens to live in a house that she once owned. These letters provide an insight into the wit and intelligence of a great man without the stifling constraints of other literary forms. It presents us with a platform and a relationship that allows Bogarde to freely reminisce, discuss politics, gossip about those around him and provide razor-sharp cameo portraits of the famous. The correspondences were all written before Bogarde saw himself as an author and stand as a testament to his literary talent, domestic sensibilities, and his unquestionable compassion in sharing so much with a complete stranger.
