L'Évangile au contact des problèmes de société, cela devrait être explosif, révolutionnaire. Il en a été ainsi en partie, mais l'église s'est aussi en partie accommodée au monde. On appelle communément " doctrine sociale " ce qu'elle a enseigné depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. Qu'est-ce qu'en définitive que cette " doctrine sociale " ? Que dit-elle aujourd'hui ? Jean Yves Calvez, qui est l'un des meilleurs connaisseurs, répond ici brièvement, synthétiquement, clairement.

Paul Davidson
"Today's financial crisis has led to a widespread lack of confidence in the laissez faire style of economic policy. In 'The Keynes Solution' author Paul Davidson provides insights into how we got into the crisis--but more importantly how to use Keynes economic philosophy to get out of this mess. John Maynard Keynes was committed to making the market economy work--but our current system has been a dismal failure. Keynes advocated for an interventionalist government role, in cooperation with private initiative, to mitigate the adverse effects of recessions, depressions and booms. His economic policy helped the world out of the great depression and was an important influencer in the thinking behind FDR's new deal policies. In this book Keynesian expert Davidson makes recommendations and details plans for spending, monetary policy, financial market rules and regulation, and wages--all to reverse the effects of our past policies. Keynes renewed influence can be seen everywhere: in Barack Obama's planned stimulus package, for example--and this book explains the basic tenet of Keynesian economics as well as applied solutions to today's critical situation."--Publisher description.

"To follow the debate over tax reform, the interested citizen is often forced to choose between misleading sound bites and academic treatises. [This book] bridges the gap between the oversimplified and the arcane, presenting the key issues clearly and without a political agenda. [The authors lay out] what is known and not known about how taxes affect the economy and offer guidelines for evaluating tax systems -- both the current tax system and proposals to reform it. This fifth edition has been extensively revised to incorporate the latest data, empirical evidence, and tax law. It offers new material on recent tax reform proposals, expanded coverage of international tax issues, and the latest enforcement initiatives. Offering historical perspectives, outlining the basic criteria by which tax policy should be judged (fairness, economic impact, enforceability), examining proposals for both radical change (replacement of the income tax with a flat tax or consumption tax) and incremental changes to the current system, and concluding with a voter's guide, the book provides readers with enough background to make informed judgments about how we should tax ourselves."--
