    Albert Camus, prix Nobel de littérature (1957), disait dans son discours à l’occasion de la réception qui lui était dédiée :    "Chaque génération, sans doute, se croit vouée à refaire le monde. La mienne sait pourtant qu’elle ne le refera pas. Mais sa tâche est peut-être plus grande. Elle consiste à empêcher que le monde se défasse"   La tâche des jeunes générations, présentes ou futures, consiste à faire tout ce qui est possible pour éviter le chaos ; il est pour demain !!  Sans ...

    Les rivalités entre les puissances semblent acquérir une ampleur inédite en ces temps de crise, se déclinant, plus que jamais, dans le domaine de l’influence.

    Last December, Covid-19 news emerged from China and, as the epicenter of the pandemic moved to Europe in February, and then to the United States in March, the news hotspots moved there too.

White House reporters were needling him about missing ventilators, the lack of protective gear for medical personnel, and almost 60,000 COVID-19 deaths, more than the number of Americans who died on the battlefields of Vietnam. Instinctively, Donald ...

    In the last two decades, the world has experienced two main global crises: the financial crisis of 2008 and the current COVID-19 health crisis. A prima facie comparison reveals at least two apparent common factors: contagion effect and panic. */ - Contagion effect: in the financial crisis, the collapse of Lehman Brothers had a deep impact on foreign financial systems exposed to the U.S. subprime market. Toxic assets (non-performing subprime mortgages) spread throughout the banking ...
