long en large, immortalisé dans des publications écrites par des historiens, des journalistes, des collaborateurs, des opposants, des amis, des ennemis. Mais jusqu'à maintenant, personne ne s'était penché sur son rôle dans l'industrie du sucre au Québec, ni sur la manière dont il a délibérément réussi à la saboter. Alors que l'inflation fait un bond de 60% entre 1946 et 1962, cette industrie aurait pu à elle-seule assurer la prospérité de la province dans cette période où elle en avait tant besoin. Du moins, en théorie. Mais à cause de manigances et politicailleries de l'Union Nationale, nous ne le saurons jamais. Rencontrez Louis Pasquier. Ingénieur agronome français que l'on fait venir au Québec dans le but de sauver l'industrie du sucre de betteraves. Et que l'on détruisit ensuite pour avoir commis le crime d'y être parvenuIntelligent Leverage: The Simple System That Successful Investors Use to Create Wealth

positive narratives about America’s managerial and professional class appeared during the 1980s. Focusing on these two key decades, this book explores how portrayals of social class and associated work and labor issues including gender and race appeared in specific films, television shows, and music. Comparing and contrasting how forms of popular media portrayed both unionized and non-unionized workers, the book discusses how workers’ perceptions of themselves were in turn shaped by messages conveyed through media. The book opens with an introduction which outlines the historical context of the immediate post-war period and the heightened social, political, and economic tension of the Cold War era. Three substantial chapters then explore film, television, and music in turn, looking at key works including Star Wars, Coming Home, 9 to 5, Good Times, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and the music of Bruce Springsteen and rap artists. Drawing on both primary and secondary sources, the book is principally situated within wider labor and working-class history research, and the relatively new history of capitalism historical sub-field. This book is vital reading for anyone interested in issues around labor and work in the media, labor history, and popular culture history during two key decades in modern American history.Housing in the United States: The Basics (The Basics)

In 2019, African heads of state and governments launched in fanfare the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), a historic…
agreement for economic transformation across the continent. But now comes the hard bit: how to make the agreement a success?In this book, senior experts from across the world come together to provide a comprehensive analysis of the conditions needed for AfCFTA to successfully spur economic development in Africa. It puts forward three foundations for success: demography dividend, digital economy, and economic diversification. In addition to trade policy, the book recommends that African policymakers should strengthen fiscal and monetary policy coordination, adopt and implement the appropriate regulatory environment, and build suitable connectivity infrastructure. The stakes are high. If implemented correctly, the book argues that AfCFTA could speed up trade within Africa, which could double every five years. Success would mean growth, investment, changing trade patterns, jobs, economic transformation, poverty reduction, and a continental market for services.Driven by concrete, evidence-based strategies for long-term growth, this book is an essential read for policy makers, development practitioners, economics researchers, and everyone with an interest in the future of Africa.
