A Stable External Currency for Europe

By: Jacques Riboud

The author does not believe that the governments of the European Community - even supposing that they can agree on the matter - will succeed in imposing the ECU as a payment and reserve currency for use in the EEC's external trade. In the external market the choice of currency is free and a brand new currency will only be chosen if it is better than all the alternatives and if it has been successfully 'promoted'.

Boubou, Memories of Youth

By: Jacques Lussan

Jacques Lussan was born in 1943 in Paris during World War II. The nickname of Boubou was given to him very early on by his mother. Boubou was raised in Paris where he completed high school. His college education took place in Switzerland where he received his Diploma of Engineering at the Polytechnic School of Zurich. Boubou¿s studies were followed by his military service in Yugoslavia, his wedding, and a professional life of twelve years in a multinational company, beginning in Switzerland. This company sent him for a one-year job rotation in the US that lasted four years. Then he decided to stay in New Jersey and he became US citizen. Jacques Lussan built his own company together with his wife in 1985. Jacques is happily married to Michele, whom he met in Switzerland. They have two charming girls and two adorable grandchildren. They all have been living in the United States since 1980. This book is an autobiography of Boubou¿s youth in Europe, from 1947 until the time he meets his future wife in 1969.

Ingrid Caven

A Novel

By: Jean-Jacques Schuhl

A novel about the life of German cabaret singer and film actress Ingrid Caven, who was once director Rainer Werner Fassbinder's star, and his wife, muse to Yves Saint Laurent, and a protege of Pierre Berge. Consisting of memories, mixing real and invented people and events, Ingrid Caven reveals the cold heart of the European counterculture of the 1970s, an era of celebrity glitz, cocaine-fueled excess, gay bathhouses, and young idealists-turned-terrorists. Ingrid Caven was an immediate bestseller in France, where it sold over 235,000 copies in its first year of publication. It has been translated into 18 languages. Jean-Jacques Schuhl is a Parisian dandy who lives with Ingrid Caven and who had not published a book for twenty years until this one.

The World Challenge

By: Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber

From the 1900s to the 1960s, the posted price of oil remained at a dollar a barrel. In 1981, it was $41 a barrel. This book outlines the past, present and future of what is commonly called the "new global order" resulting from that price rise. The author pays particular attention to the political and economic impact of the oil-producing OPEC nations and the economic challenges presented by the rise of Japan as a major economic player on the global stage.

Reveries of the Solitary Walker

By: Jean-Jacques Rousseau

After a period of forced exile and solitary wandering brought about by his radical views on religion and politics, Jean-Jacques Rousseau returned to Paris in 1770. Here, in the last two years of his life, he wrote his final work, the Reveries. In this eloquent masterpiece the great political thinker describes his sense of isolation from a society he felt had rejected his writings - and the manner in which he has come to terms with his alienation, as he walks around Paris, gazing at plants, day-dreaming and finding comfort in the virtues of solitude and the natural world. Meditative, amusing and lyrical, this is a fascinating exploration of Rousseau's thought as he looks back over his life, searching to justify his actions, to defend himself against his critics and to elaborate upon his philosophy.
