Angleterre, xvi e - xix e siècle. Enclosures, le grand accaparement
Par la loi du 20 novembre 2023, le législateur avait donné pour mission au Conseil supérieur de la magistrature (CSM) de rédiger une charte de déontologie dont la dernière version avait été rédigée en 2019. La Charte de déontologie des magistrats de l’ordre judiciaire a ainsi été publiée le 12 décembre 2025. Ce document illustre avec pragmatisme l’adaptation de la déontologie à la modernité et en actualise les principes à la lumière des questions…

Decadence, Radicalism, and the Early Modern French Nobility: The Enlightened and the Depraved
Chad Denton’s main point in this book is that the French nobility transformed itself during the early modern period from a class associated with landed estates and warfare to one legitimized through intellectual and social refinement. Nobles found a new purpose through a culture of royal service for which one qualified by means of education and elegance. The acquisition of learning became crucial to court life, where nobles secured lucrative posi…
Do Piketty and Saez Misstate Income Inequality? Critiquing the Critiques
A large body of literature points to sharply growing income inequality over the past half century. The Piketty and Saez dataset that measures income distribution provides empirical support for this claim. Our article evaluates three prominent criticisms of this dataset as well as the responses of Piketty and Saez to these criticisms. One key argument against using their dataset is that Piketty and Saez do not control for income shifting by top in…
L'offensive contre l'État-providence aux États-Unis
L'article décrit brièvement une série de facteurs politiques et économiques qui ont contribué à la montée du néo-conservatisme aux États-Unis. Il dresse un bilan critique des orientations économiques promues par l'administration Reagan, dénonce l'offensive dont l'État-providence est l'objet, souligne les liens qui existent entre la production de la pauvreté et les processus de restructuration économique. Il s'interroge sur l'ampleur du soutien po…

Revolutionary Politics in France, 1788-91: The Case of Languedoc
Scholars generally assume that the nobility and bourgeoisie came into conflict in 1789. Yet in many regions, the nobility and bourgeoisie jointly rallied to the banner of Revolution. Nobles gained prestige for having led opposition to arbitrary government in 1788 and 1789. They also seemed to have the wherewithal to contend with popular unrest, which threatened all those who enjoyed a certain ease. Nobles thus won free elections throughout the ni…
Social Exclusion
In the United States poverty is traced with a single income number. But the authors argue that there is a more useful way of measuring deprivation: social exclusion. In Europe, governments are increasingly trying to measure it and come up with policies to limit it.

La redistribution des revenus
Les auteurs mettent en cause les politiques de sécurité sociale telles que pratiquées dans les pays occidentaux. Ils étudient la distribution des revenus et soulignent l'irrationalité qui la caractérise. Ils démontrent que l'analyse des inégalités sociales suppose qu'on en saisisse toutes les dimensions. Ils appliquent une méthode d'analyse aux statistiques des revenus au Canada. Après avoir étudié les implications d'un système fiscal, ils montre…
Stratégie pour la mobilité sociale: Un Cadre Politique
L'étude de la mobilité sociale s'est traditionnellement faite de façon statique. Le lien entre mobilité et politique sociale permettrait de renouveler la question. Trois types de politique sont envisagés : les réformes de l'éducation, les allocations (cash subsidies) et la mobilité collective (stratum mobility ). Pour chacune de ces approches, les auteurs examinent plusieurs politiques qu'ils critiquent ou qu'ils suggèrent : par exemple, l'Opérat…

A Bibliography of the Revd. Walter Gregor's Publications
It is now over one hundred years since the Reverend Walter Gregor died in 1897, and yet, for such a seminal figure in the collecting of Scottish folklore, surprisingly a full bibliography of his publications is still lacking. Gregor is justly known for the material he collected from the North-east of Scotland, and published in his two bestknown books, An Echo of the Olden Time from the North of Scotland (1874) and Notes on the Folk-Lore of the No…

CJC: I don't believe that only the early part of my work was referred to because San Camilo, 1936[1969] and Mazurca para dos muertos [1983; Mazurka for Two Dead Men], which date from at least my second period weighed heavily in its deliberations.2 As regards the motives the Swedish Academy may have had for giving me the prize, I, of course, know of no others than the ones that were publicly stated at the time [of the award]. I'm not sure if that'…

Economic, Political and Social Determinants of Mobility: An International Cross-Sectional Analysis
Recent national comparative studies of intergenerational occupational (social) mobility have shown considerable variations in the rates of outflow from manual to nonmanual strata (upward mobility) and from nonmanual to manual strata (downward mobility).1) One of the authors was associated with an unsuccessful attempt to find simple dominating relationships between patterns of social mobility and various economic indicators.2) The results suggeste…

The Future of Inequality
The recapitalization of capitalism
La crise économique actuelle a conduit à en terminer avec la politique d'après-guerre, fondée sur les principes keynésiens de la croissance dirigée, du plein-emploi et de l'état providence. Dans de nombreux pays capitalistes, des efforts sont faits maintenant pour 'recapitaliser le capitalisme'. Ceci entraîne des réductions dans le secteur public et une expansion du secteur privé, mettant principalement l'accent sur l'industrie et sur l'exportati…

The Political Economy of Social Problems: From the Sixties to the Seventies
Social problems should be viewed in the broad context of political economy rather than in personalistic or even labeling perspectives. To support this view, the cost-free liberalism of the 60's and the re-capitalizing capitalism strategy of the 70's are analyzed. The misinterpretation of the 60's and the economic difficulties of the 70's are producing an approach to social problems that restricts public expenditures to deal with them and advocate…

The Pursuit of Informal Economies
Considerable differences exist between informal economies. Consequently, a wide range of interests and frames of analysis influence the way they are thought about. Four main approaches are discussed: economic, social, fiscal and regulatory, and living conditions. In turn, four policy choices dealing with informal economies compete: drive them out, make them pay up, improve them, and expand them. The future of informal economies is uncertain, but …

Creaming the poor
Poverty, Inequality, and Conflict
Groping concern with poverty has ushered in the much more controversial issue of inequalities within the af fluent society. In America, relative deprivation is a more im portant aspect of "poverty" than poor physical conditions. Income alone is an inadequate indicator of level of living. This paper proposes six dimensions for the measurement of well- being : income, assets, basic services, social mobility and edu cation, political position, and s…
