profit, not to satisfy people’s needs. The products of capitalist production have to find a buyer, of course, but this is only incidental to the main aim of making a profit, of ending up with more money than was originally invested. This is not a theory that we have thought up but a fact you can easily confirm for yourself by reading the financial press. Production is started not by reading the financial press. Production is started not by what consumers are prepared to pay for to satisfy their needs

juxtaposition of sovereign states, in which national identities are bounded by territory—the legal fiction that underpins most of international law, that we could define as a ‘‘Westphalian vision’’—is at the core of IR thinking. For the sake of making IR theory more ‘‘manageable,’’ this tradition has been guilty of at least two analytical conflations. First is the conflation between the ‘‘Bodinian’’ understanding of sovereignty as the power of a ruler over its territory6 and the ‘‘Vattelian’’ conception of

(phénomène de momentum), ainsi que des autocorrélations négatives dans le long terme (phénomènes de retour à la moyenne des prix). Fama [13], auteur d’un modèle plus raffiné d’évaluation des actifs dans le cadre de l’efficience (modèle de Fama-French [14], cf. section 1.2.2), énonce bien l’enjeu : "Suivant la loi traditionnelle de la Science, l’efficience des marchés peut être seulement remplacée par un meilleur modèle". Et ce dernier doit satisfaire des critères rigoureux : "il doit spécifier

Basically, primates are the other animal that have this exceptionally large brain. A brain that seems to be in excess of their needs. To explain why our brains developed in this way, they looked at primates, and they came up with a really fascinating theory called Machiavellian intelligence. The gist of it is the following. What makes primates different from any other animal is that they live in very complex social environments. There are other animals, like wolves, etc., that live in packs, that have

situation and its perspectives. It drives to a slowdown in the economy or, more important, to a recession or a depression following the Business cycle. It can have a huge impact on salaries (decrease), some business go out and increase social tension. A theory is saying that those economic crises are recurrent in economic history.

members of given societies view as very important. He focuses on the expressions of culture as religion, family structure, leisure, sports, social class, and more. He provides a description of cultures according to metaphors (i.e. the Italian opera, French wine, the Russian ballet, Irish conversations or American football). These metaphors provide good insight into expressions of culture, but they are less useful for analyzing and comparing cultures and understanding consumer behaviour across cultures

interesting, since there are so few ‘hard’ facts to go on. As a result, a number of handy speculations have acquired the status of facts; and this in itself may serve as a warning. For example, it is usually stated that Eudoxus of Cnidus invented the theory of proportions in Euclid’s book V. There is evidence for this, but it is rather slender. Fowler is suspicious, and Knorr more accepting, but both, as specialists, necessarily argue about its status. In all general histories, it has acquired the status
