The ability of the media to affect outcomes in economic and political markets has been well documented. News reporting and advertising influence consumer behavior in goods and services markets by revealing (or selectively revealing) information about a product, acting as agenda setters to influence consumer demand, or enhancing competition in markets by alerting consumers to substitutes. In political markets, they can affect behavior by informing voters about a politician's views or actions, enlightening citizens to outcomes of public policy, or taking a stance on political, social, or economic issues. For businesses, households, and most others, the media is the main source of information o...
This book contains a number of papers presented at a workshop organised by the World Bank in 1997 on the theme of 'Social Capital: Integrating the Economist's and the Sociologist's Perspectives'. The concept of 'social capital' is considered through a number of theoretical and empirical studies which discuss its analytical foundations, as well as institutional and statistical analyses of the concept. It includes the classic 1987 article by the late James Coleman, 'Social Capital in the Creation of Human Capital', which formed the basis for the development of social capital as an organising concept in the social sciences.

Les progrès en arthroscopie ont été fulgurants ces dernières années, en particulier en arthroscopie d'épaule, de hanche, du poignet et de cheville. Ainsi, de nombreuses pathologies ont été totalement revisitées par l'apport de cette technique. Aucune articulation et peu d'espaces de glissement résistent encore à l'arthroscope, ce qui permet de remplacer les gestes conventionnels par des chirurgies moins agressives. Les douleurs postopératoires sont réduites, facilitant une prise en charge en ambulatoire et le retour rapide à domicile. Cet ouvrage, constitué de 135 chapitres issus de la collaboration et de l'expérience de plus de 240 auteurs de la Société Française d'Arthro...
It’s time to rewrite the rules—to curb the runaway flow of wealth to the top one percent, to restore security and opportunity for the middle class, and to foster stronger growth rooted in broadly shared prosperity. Inequality is a choice. The United States bills itself as the land of opportunity, a place where anyone can achieve success and a better life through hard work and determination.

For decades, wages have stagnated for the majority of workers while economic gains have disproportionately gone to the top one percent. Education, housing, an...
