En 2019, le prix de la Sveriges Riksbank en sciences économiques en Mémoire d’Alfred Nobel était décerné à trois des principaux promoteurs des expérimentations aléatoires (Randomized Controlled Trials – RCT), pour leur contribution essentielle à la lutte contre la pauvreté. Utilisée de longue date en médecine, l’expérimentation devient aujourd’hui la référence dans le champ des politiques économiques et sociales. Cette suprématie est-elle scientifiquement légitime, éthiquement satisfaisante et politiquement désirable ? Les RCT ont-elles réellement « considérablement amélioré notre capacité à combattre la pauvreté », dont la pandémie de Covid-19 a encore accru l’urgence ? À quelles questions permettent-elles de répondre et quelles autres sont laissées de côté ? Cet ouvrage de référence réunit 26 spécialistes mondiaux sur ce thème (y compris deux éminents lauréats du prix Nobel d’économie), issus d’origines différentes et d’un large spectre de disciplines (économie, statistique, anthropologie, philosophie, santé publique, etc.). Il présente, dans un langage accessible à tous, les principales forces et faiblesses des RCT dans le champ du développement : comment elles fonctionnent, ce qu’on peut en attendre, pourquoi parfois elles échouent, comment elles pourraient être améliorées, et pourquoi d’autres méthodes sont à la fois utiles et nécessaires. |

Sommario/riassunto |

"Anyone who doubts the power of history to inform the present should read this closely argued and sweeping survey. This is rich, timely, and sobering historical fare written in a measured, non-sensationalist style by a master of his craft. One only hopes (almost certainly vainly) that today's policymakers take its lessons to heart."-Brian Fagan, Los Angeles Times Published in 2002, Deforesting the Earth was a landmark study of the history and geography of deforestation. Now available as an abridgment, this edition retains the breadth of the original while rendering its arguments accessible to a general readership. Deforestation-the thinning, changing, and wholesale clearing of forests for fuel, shelter, and agriculture-is among the most |

important ways humans have transformed the environment. Surveying ten thousand years to trace human-induced deforestation's effect on economies, societies, and landscapes around the world, Deforesting the Earth is the preeminent history of this process and its consequences. Beginning with the return of the forests after the ice age to Europe, North America, and the tropics, Michael Williams traces the impact of human-set fires for gathering and hunting, land clearing for agriculture, and other activities from the Paleolithic age through the classical world and the medieval period. He then focuses on forest clearing both within Europe and by European imperialists and industrialists abroad, from the 1500's to the early 1900's, in such places as the New World, India, and Latin America, and considers indigenous clearing in India, China, and Japan. Finally, he covers the current alarming escalation of deforestation, with our ever-increasing human population placing a potentially unsupportable burden on the world's forests. |
