"Philanthropy plays a huge role in supporting many public goods in contemporary American and European societies. Thus, the decision about what activities receive support and are therefore financially viable depends the personal preferences of the wealthy. In Private Virtues, Public Vices: Philanthropy and Democratic Equality, political theorist Emma Saunders-Hastings argues that philanthropy is a deeply political activity that should be judged not only by the morality of the causes being supported, but also by the fact that the choices of the very rich essentially dictate decisions for the rest of us, foreclosing some possibilities and directing us down paths we might not otherwise choose. What Saunders-Hastings asks is that we look at the impact on democracy of the kind of power wielded by philanthropy and how it enables the wealthy to exercise greater power in our society and deepen its political inequalities"--

Aux Etats-Unis, au plus fort de la Guerre froide, un nouveau projet visant à redéfinir la rationalité suscita l'intérêt d'intellectuels brillants, de politiciens influents, de fondations fortunées et des hauts cercles de l'armée. En s'appuyant sur les sciences humaines (psychologie, sociologie, sciences politiques ou économiques), ces différents acteurs s'engagèrent dans une campagne intellectuelle visant à comprendre ce que la «rationalité» devrait être et de quelle manière elle pourrait être investie. Quand la raison faillit perdre l'esprit remet en scène ceux qui jouèrent un rôle clef dans ce programme (Herbert Simon, Oskar Morgenstern, Herman Kahn, Anatol Rapoport, Thomas Schelling et bien d'autres encore), ainsi que les institutions qui les appuyèrent - la RAND Corporation, le Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, la Cowles Commission for Research and Economics, le Council on Foreign Relations. Ces décideurs exploitèrent cette vision de la rationalité (optimisation, rationalité algorithmique et mécanique) dans leur quête de compréhension de phénomènes aussi divers que l'économie des transactions, l'évolution biologique, les élections politiques, les relations internationales ou la stratégie militaire. En plongeant le lecteur dans le climat intellectuel de la Guerre froide, cet ouvrage expose ce qu'être «rationnel» signifiait dans un monde au bord du précipice nucléaire.
