By Maria Nowak. 2005
L'affirmation " on ne prête qu'aux riches " a fait son temps. Le succès du microcrédit le prouve. Dans le…
monde, 60 millions de personnes sont sorties de l'exclusion et de la misère grâce au microcrédit. En France, des milliers d'entreprises ont été créées grâce à des prêts qui ne dépassent pas 5 000 euros. Quand on prête de l'argent aux exclus du système bancaire, non seulement ceux-ci retrouvent le goût de l'initiative et la confiance en eux-mêmes, mais ils remboursent mieux que les autres. Prêter aux démunis ne relève plus de la charité publique mais de l'activité financière. Pour y arriver, les militants de la microfinance ont dû briser d'extraordinaires préjugés. Aujourd'hui, cette nouvelle perspective - et sa réussite - permet de sortir du débat sans issue opposant un État providence, qui n'est pas en mesure de protéger tout le monde, à la logique brutale du capitalisme.Occupy World Street: a global roadmap for radical economic and political reform

the opposition in Alberta, brings a fresh perspective through the insight he gained as an elected politician who had an insider's eyewitness view of the role of the oil industry. His answer, in brief: The oil industry has captured key democratic institutions in both Alberta and Ottawa. Taft begins his book with a perceptive observer's account of a recent court case in Ottawa which laid bare the tactics and techniques of the industry, its insiders and lobbyists. He casts dramatic new light on exactly how corporate lobbyists, politicians, bureaucrats, universities, and other organizations are working together to pursue the oil industry's agenda. He offers a brisk tour of the recent work of scholars who have developed the concepts of the deep state and institutional capture to understand how one rich industry can override the public interest. Taft views global warming and weakened democracy as two symptoms of the same problem--the loss of democratic institutions to corporate influence and control. He sees citizen engagement and direct action by the public as the only response that can unravel big oil's deep state. 2017.Oh boy!: mothers tell the truth about raising teen sons
