Histoire de comment nous avons troqué demain pour un mois de paix

Design for Social Responsibility

This book explores how design decisions, from societal and policy-level interventions to business models and product-level choices, can reduce material intensity and support a transition to a regenerative future. The challenge of the twenty-first century is not simply how to consume more sustainably, but how to meet human needs while reducing pressure on global ecosystems. Designing Circularity addresses this challenge by reframing circularity as a systems problem: how to achieve the same, or better, outcomes for society with less material and energy throughput.At the centre of the book is a triple-layered systemic design framework for coordinating circular initiatives across socio-technical and policy systems, organisational business and service models, and products and assets. Drawing on research, practitioner insights, and real-world examples, the book shows how governments, businesses, not-for-profit organisations, and designers can work across these layers to reshape the conditions that influence production, consumption, and resource use.Through the lens of material intensity, Designing Circularity challenges readers to consider not only how products are made, but how systems are organised to meet human needs. It examines how effectively economies and sectors meet those needs in relation to the materials and energy they use, and how shared forms of provision can reduce dependence on materially intensive patterns of individual consumption. Written for researchers, practitioners, designers, industry leaders, and policymakers, the book offers a practical pathway for applying systems stewardship to create collective abundance within ecological limits.The Introduction and Chapters 1 and 3 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 International license.

Comprehensive analysis of global wine regulations across history, geography, and discipline.Wine has been at the heart of human civilization for thousands of years, and for centuries governments around the world have regulated wine production, consumption, and trade for reasons ranging from consumer protection and quality assurance to tax revenue and the protection of vineyard owners' rents. The European Union alone has introduced more than two thousand wine regulations. Some of today's regulations date back hundreds of years; others are more recent; and there is considerable variation over time.The rich history of wine regulation offers fascinating insights into the political economy of public policy and the ways in which such policies persist and evolve. This book examines specific historical developments involving wines that are well known today, such as Champagne, Port, Chianti, and Burgundy. Drawing on original historical sources and multilingual archival research, it provides the first comprehensive analysis of global wine regulations from an integrated political, economic, and historical perspective.It will appeal to a wide range of readers, including academics and students across disciplines, and anyone interested in wine and wine markets around the world.

For fans of Doughnut Economics, The Trading Game and The Big Short, How to Tame Your Vampire Squid is an insightful and irreverent account of how our economic system got here, why it isn't working as it should - and how we could tame it. Meet the vampire squid: a powerful, ingenious creature with one unfortunate habit - it never knows when it has enough. For the past forty years, one idea has come to dominate the way we do business: maximize profit. The result is a system - our insatiable squid - programmed to keep extracting, expanding and chasing ever greater returns, even when the consequences work against the people it was meant to serve. But what if capitalism itself isn't the problem? What if the problem is what we've trained it to do? Drawing on a lifetime in business - from witnessing the transformation of Cadbury in the 1990s to building the much-loved food brand COOK and navigating the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis - James Perry tells the story of modern capitalism from the inside, combining colourful characters and eye-opening encounters to reveal how the pursuit of short-term financial gains came to dominate the way we do business. Along the way, he makes sense of the forces shaping our everyday lives, such as banking, private equity, inequality and the changing role of business. And he introduces us to the people already proving there is another way to do things. This isn't an argument for tearing capitalism down. Enterprise remains one of humanity's most powerful tools. The vampire squid is simply doing what we've taught it to do - which means we can teach it something different.

How to Tame Your Vampire Squid

A grounded guide to thinking bigger with AI-and putting both human and machine intelligence to work across business and everyday life In The Intelligence Leap: How Humans + AI will Solve Problems, Reimagine Business, and Improve Lives, Gopi Kallayil, the Global AI Business Strategist and Leader at Google, argues that AI is the most profound invention in human history-for one specific reason. Nearly every major tool before it extended our physical capabilities. AI amplifies our cognitive abilities, which represents a leap in human intelligence. It doesn't replace our natural intelligence; it complements it, so that a single person can now harness the thinking power of an entire team. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with the world's top executives, Kallayil turns that shift into something any leader can actually use. He starts by demystifying AI in plain English-how it works, and what it's genuinely good at versus what it isn't. From there he makes his central case: the biggest breakthroughs won't come from working faster, but from non-linear thinkers who reimagine the problem entirely, the way Uber's founders stitched together maps, GPS, and idle cars into something the taxi and car rental industries never saw coming. AI doesn't hand out big ideas, but it supercharges the people who have them-empowering them to chase even bolder ones and build disruptions that dwarf what we've seen so far. The rest of the book brings all of this down to earth. Kallayil looks at business through four lenses-consumer behavior, marketing, service delivery, and operations-and gives readers practical frameworks alongside case studies from hospitality, retail, financial services, healthcare, and transportation. Throughout, his message stays consistent: this is a moment of extraordinary opportunity, and it belongs to whoever has the best idea and can act on it first. Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>A jargon-free explanation of how AI actually works-what it's uniquely good at, and where it still falls short</li> <li>Why non-linear thinking, not raw effort or technical expertise, produces real breakthroughs-and how AI helps those thinkers reach solutions no one else has found</li> <li>The four conditions that spark non-linear thinking inside any organization</li> <li>Case studies from six industries-hospitality, transportation, retail, financial services, auto, and healthcare-showing the same transformation play out in strikingly different ways</li> <li>A grounded, optimistic take on AI's real risks-and the guardrails that let you move fast without getting burned</li> </ul> Ideal for business leaders, entrepreneurs, marketers, and anyone trying to understand where they fit in an AI-powered world, The Intelligence Leap offers a grounded way to combine human and artificial intelligence-to solve problems, transform organizations, and create lasting value.

Sustainability and the Future of International Trade challenges the conventional wisdom that free trade is universally beneficial and that today's trading system operates on the comparative advantages of countries. The author demonstrates through the role of regulatory variance across four domains (labour, environment, climate, and taxation) that international trade is more often explained by the absolute or ownership advantages of multinational firms, which exploit regulatory differences across countries. In a world where multinational firms orchestrate approximately 80% of international trade, the main benefit is not the physical movement of goods, but rather how production is organized and transferred through knowledge flows in the international trading system. The main challenge therefore is the market power of these same firms - a power that remains largely unregulated outside the European Union.The book explains why existing trade institutions combined with low standards in emerging economies now frequently undermine sustainability and why small, incremental adjustments within the current framework will be insufficient. The author argues that regulatory divergence drives vicious circles of lowering standards in the four domains, leading to a race-to-the-bottom including carbon leakage. The latter contributes significantly to the climate crisis while creating detrimental health impacts on less developed countries. After presenting the main actors of the system, the multinational firm, the nation state, the European Union, the WTO and the ILO, the author discusses and weighs the pros and cons of different trade political instruments, both traditional and more modern, in terms of achieving sustainable trade.The book offers an integrated analytical and policy framework, with clear relevance for academics, researchers and policymakers concerned with global public goods, climate change, and trade governance.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Two Paths to Prosperity

This textbook is designed to introduce the reader to important and emerging issues in contemporary environmental law, policy, economics, and science. It explains the roles and interactions of Congress, federal agencies, state governments, and the courts in protecting the environment and public health from pollution. Topics include common law; administrative law; the role of environmental impact assessments and endangered species protection; and the principal legislation and court decisions dealing with greenhouse gas emissions, conventional and toxic air pollution, water pollution, the control of toxic chemicals and hazardous waste, pollution prevention and primary accident prevention, and community right-to-know. The text also explores various alternatives to regulation and concludes with a brief treatise on sustainability. 
The evolving role of science and economics in legislative, regulatory, and judicial decision making is explored. The text analyzes pollution as an economic problem and a failure of markets, discusses the role of technological innovation and the concept of "dynamic" economic equilibrium, and evaluates economic incentives as an alternative or supplement to regulation. The book also provides an introduction to basic legal skills: how to read and understand judicial opinions, regulations, and statutes; how to discover the current state of the law in a specific area; and how to take action toward resolution of environmental problems. Throughout, the role of national and local politics in shaping and implementing environmental policy is acknowledged and evaluated.
