« Un homme carré dans un corps rond », c'est en ces termes que Raymond Barre, avec son sens aigu de la formule, aimait à se définir. Entré « par hasard » dans la vie politique en 1959, ce gaulliste, universitaire et économiste de renom, connaît une carrière fulgurante : tour à tour vice-président de la Commission européenne, ministre, puis Premier ministre de 1976 à 1981, il s'engage résolument dans la modernisation du pays pour conjurer la crise dont il est le seul à mesurer toute la gravité et sur laquelle il livrera un diagnostic toujours d'actualité. Mais cet infatigable serviteur de l'Etat peine à se métamorphoser en politique tant il cultive son libre arbitre et se montre imperméable aux petits arrangements partisans. Candidat malheureux à l'élection présidentielle de 1988, il termine sa carrière comme maire de Lyon. Devenu une référence en France comme dans les milieux internationaux, il laisse l'impression d'un grand destin inachevé. Christiane Rimbaud est partie à sa découverte, rencontrant nombre de proches et de personnalités pour comprendre l'homme tant dans ses forces que dans ses fêlures.

This book looks into the creative minds of some recent, mostly "defunct" economists. Many of the authors, such as Samuelson, Friedman, Galbraith, and Heilbroner, have penned popular works, while their scientific contributions were limited to the most specialized scholars. Others, such as Nobel Prize winners Modigliani, Debreu, Becker, Aumann, and Allais, delved into complex issues in human organization, economic growth and planning, socio-economic theory, and model building. Economists such as Keynes and Lowe represent world-class paragons whose influences continue to percolate in current research programs. Here we unearth their best scientific work, revealing gems that might otherwise be overlooked.
