How to End Rentier Capitalism

By: Philippe Askenazy

A new perspective on the neoliberal world through the prism of rents and rentiers How can we reduce inequalities? How can we make work get better recognition and better pay? Philippe Askenazy in this new book shows that the current share of wealth is far from natural; it results from rising rents and their capture by the actors best endowed in the economic game. In this race for rents, the world of work is the big loser: while many workers feed capital rents by increased productivity and worsened working conditions, they are stigmatized as unproductive and their earnings stagnate. By proposing a new description of the capital-work relationship, calling for a remobilization of the world of work, and particularly poorly paid employees, Askenazy shows that there is a more radical alternative to neoliberalism beyond simply redistribution.

The Blind Decades

Employment and Growth in France, 1974-2014

By: Philippe Askenazy

France is often described as one of the last Western economies unable to reform itself in the face of globalization. Yet its economy has not fallen by the wayside and has even resisted the great recession that began in 2008. By interlinking historical, economic, and political factors and by comparing France with other nations, this book explains the puzzle presented by the development of France. Understanding France's economy requires downplaying the usual policy injunctions—demands for less state control and less rigidity in the labor market—and instead stressing the importance of constructing a long-term industrial strategy.

The Blind Decades

Employment and Growth in France, 1974-2014

By: Philippe Askenazy,Richard Freeman

France is often described as one of the last Western economies that has not been able to reform itself in the face of globalization. Yet its economy has not fallen by the wayside, and it has even resisted the great recession that began in 2008. By interlinking historical, economic, and political factors, and by comparing France with other nations, this book offers keys for understanding the puzzle found in the development of France. Dynamics at work in the French case sidestep the usual injunctions--less state control or less rigidity in the labor market--and instead stress the importance of the construction of a long-term industrial strategy"--Provided by publisher.

Why the Rich Are a Problem

20 Preconceived Ideas of Inequality - Essais - documents

By: Daniel Richard

• The rich have always existed because inequality is natural. • With hard work, anyone can become rich. • We criticize the rich out of jealousy. • The rich spend and invest. • The rich create jobs. • The rich take risks and innovate. • The more rich there are, the fewer poor there are. • The rich pay a lot of taxes. Philippe Richard, PhD in economics, analyzes some twenty preconceived ideas about the rich and social inequality. By precisely dissecting the economic data, the author provides factual evidence about the liberal doctrine and the excesses of our capitalism. The author also asks essential questions concerning the future of our society: • Is it a good thing that the fortune of a minority skyrockets, while the majority is in greater insecurity? • Do the rich represent an opportunity or a threat to the balance of our democracy? • Can our society survive with such inequalities? An excellent educational tool to put in everyone’s hands to understand why the rich are a problem. Philippe Richard has a doctorate in economics and has been a consultant to employee representatives for 20 years. He is the author of two published works: Abolishing the right to wealth, and For a fairer society: Manifesto for a cap on income and wealth.

Public Action in the crisis

Toward a reneval in France and in Europe?

By: Philippe Bance

Confronted with the major crisis that struck the world economy at the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, analysts, researches, and political leaders studied past experiences to avoid repeating errors of diagnosis, recommendation, or action. The disatrous experience of the Great Depression of the 1930's, which caused and social misery, messive unemployment, protectionism forms of nationalism, and led to a world war whose devastating effects were pushed to an extreme, remained in mind.

Disturbance

Surviving Charlie Hebdo

By: Philippe Lançon

In this Prix Femina–winning memoir, a writer at the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo recounts surviving the deadly terror attack on their office. On January 7, 2015, two terrorists claiming allegiance to ISIS attack the Paris office of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. The event causes untold pain to the victims and their families, prompts a global solidarity movement, and ignites a fierce debate over press freedoms and the role of satire today. Philippe Lançon, a journalist, author, and a weekly contributor to Charlie Hebdo is gravely wounded in the attack—an experience that upends his relationship to the world. As Lançon attempts to reconstruct his life on the page, he rereads Proust, Thomas Mann, Kafka, and others in search of guidance. It is a year before he can return to writing, a year in which he learns to work through his experiences and their aftermath. Disturbance is not an essay on terrorism nor is it a witness’s account of Charlie Hebdo. It is an honest, intimate account of a man seeking to put his life back together after it has been torn apart. “A powerful and deeply civilized memoir.” —The New York Times
