Sommario/riassunto

Du Mouvement Desjardins au Fonds monétaire international, le monde bancaire influence chaque membre de la société, tout en constituant un monde à part régi par ses propres lois. Comment saisir les échanges monétaires dans un monde globalisé où les transferts se font plutôt en chiffres qu’en monnaie concrète ?  Ce manuel utile et informatif explique en détail le fonctionnement, le cadre législatif et les politiques des institutions bancaires canadiennes qui défendent avec succès leur place sur l’échiquier mondial. Après un rappel historique de l’évolution de la monnaie, l’auteur analyse d’une façon à la fois précise et approfondie le système bancaire canadien dans son contexte national et international, d’un point de vue théorique et pratique. Bernard Élie lève ainsi le voile sur les mécanismes essentiels du monde des finances. Un livre de référence indispensable.

Sommario/riassunto

This far-ranging study develops Morson's concept of "prosaics," which stresses the importance of ordinary events and the novel's unique ability to portray them. Arguing that time is open and contingency real, Morson develops a "prosaics of process" showing how some masterpieces have found an alternative to structure. His well-known



pseudonym Alicia Chudo, the inventor of "misanthropology," explores the disturbing philosophical content of laughter, disgust, and even empathy. Northwestern University's most popular professor, Morson attributes declining student interest in literature to current teaching methods. He argues in favor of showing how literature fosters empathy with people unlike ourselves. Ever playful, Morson explores the relation of games to wit, which expresses the power of the mind to triumph over contingency in the social world.
