Title : When China Changes the World - Erik Izraelewicz - book Summary : China has awakened, the world is shaking. Never in economic history has such a large nation (1.3 billion inhabitants) experienced such strong growth (8% per year) for such a long period (twenty-five years). This success should be reassuring: it is worrying. In a quarter of a century, the world has changed China. Today, China is changing the world. Tomorrow, it will perhaps be the leading economic power ahead of the United States. Through its excess, its appetite and its means, and through the hypercapitalism that reigns there, the Middle Kingdom is destabilizing all markets: those of oil, steel, gold, wheat, technology, labor, etc. The China shock affects everything from the price of gasoline to our employment and even the weather. Erik Izraelewicz analyzes this earthquake with remarkable clarity, showing, with supporting examples, how China is changing our lives. Are we certain that globalization will be a success?

Title : When you are at Proust the war will be over - Hubert Nyssen - book Summary : Having made his career in publishing in Paris, Paul Leleu retired to a village between the Gris-Nez and Blanc-Nez capes. There, he gave himself twelve months to write to a former lover, who might never read it, an epistle in which he questions the meaning of his life and the role of the people who have passed through it. This is an opportunity for him to call upon the women, writers, translators, and publishers he has known: he battles with his memories, sometimes gives up, then returns to them with the impulses, illusions, mistrust, and passion inspired by the peerless mystifiers that are memory, dreams, and imagination. Language and reading are at the forefront of this testamentary and jubilant account of a publisher who would like to understand why the fascination with the text was sometimes so close to that which he had for certain women. Born in 1925 in Brussels, naturalized French, Hubert Nyssen settled in Provence in 1968. A writer, he is the author of some thirty works. A publisher, he founded Actes Sud just thirty years ago. A Doctor of Letters, he taught at the universities of Aix-en-Provence and Liège. EAN : 9782742772599 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : What Does It All Mean? A Very Brief Introduction to Philosophy - Thomas Nagel - book Summary An introduction to philosophy must be philosophical. It can also renew the genre. Thomas Nagel believes that there is no better way to learn something about philosophy than to focus on the questions: "Before learning a bunch of philosophical theories, it is better," he says, "to have been intrigued by the questions to which these theories attempt to find an answer." From knowledge of the world outside our minds to the question of the meaning of life, he examines, in this capacity, nine problems, with the legitimate concern of leaving them open, but without refusing to say what he thinks about them. With a remarkable economy of means, Thomas Nagel shows here that the presumed obscurity surrounding "philosophical problems" can easily be resolved in the clarity of a presentation whose rigor and conciseness are combined here with originality.
