Monetary Systems From individual needs to international realities
Currencies, and the reform of monetary systems, are a subject of growing importance on both the economic scene and the electoral one. Mistakes and misinterpretations are frequent – even among policy-makers – making this book’s instructive approach all the more helpful and necessary.

Modern State, Effective State
Citizens need a clearer picture of public spending — which makes evaluation absolutely necessary.

Modern Relationships and the Family The response of the law to the transformation of the family and the couple
The melting pot where each individual is formed, but also the nucleus of communal life, the family is today a crucial institution of society. However, the current statistics show less, and later marriages, in addition to an increase in divorces and in reconstructed and one parent families, with young people becoming autonomous later as a consequence of these changes. In the face of this, what points of reference should be taken in order to construct the indispensable family policies needed by our country ? With regard to filiation, parental authority, marriage, divorce, cohabitation, and the inheritance and protection of children, how do we adapt the law to these new social realities ? Irène Théry, a sociologist, and author of Démariage, presents in this work an analysis of the state of the family and of private life today, and puts forward the foundations of a new and ambitious step for France.
