Nicolas Sarkozy candidat à l’élection présidentielle avait affirmé qu’il ne toucherait pas au système des retraites. Mais la crise économique a rebattu les cartes. Le Président de la République engagea une réforme qui réussit à liguer contre elle tous les syndicats pour une fois réunis. On leur avait promis une négociation, voilà qu’on leur soumettait un projet tout ficelé. Pour eux, la fin de la retraite à 60 ans n’était « pas acceptable ». Pour le gouvernement, le cœur de la réforme n’était « pas négociable ». Cet ouvrage expose les enjeux de cette réforme et apporte des éclairages sur la façon dont elle fut présentée et menée par l’Elysée et le gouvernement. Il souligne également les limites d’un projet qui, au plan financier, sera rendu obsolète à échéance de dix ans. Et l’obligation d’envisager d’ores et déjà une nouvelle réforme en profondeur qui ne se limite pas à un report des bornes d’âge.

The failure of attempts to tackle global poverty have bred cynicism and "compassion fatigue." Eradicating Extreme Poverty provides an urgently needed fresh approach which will re-energize action on this issue. Rejecting traditional "top-down" approaches, Xavier Godinot starts from the experiences, capabilities, and strategies of the poor themselves. He argues that the first step is a close connection with poor communities followed by a commitment to take action alongside them. Life-stories from Burkina Faso, France, Peru, and the Philippines are used to show that the poor must be involved in their own liberation. After decades of failed development policies, this book outlines a radical new approach which will enliven debate amongst policy-makers, researchers, students, and academics.
