| Abstract: | The paper is a book review of Sergio Cremaschi's David Ricardo. An Intellectual Biography, published in 2022. It argues that Cremaschi's book testifies to the difficulty of applying intellectual history to the biographical genre, which is concerned with the portrait of an individual rather than the picture of a milieu. The paper nevertheless concludes that the book will be read with pleasure by all those who admire in Ricardo the fascinating economist that was also a gracious person. |

| Abstract: | For papers to have scientific impact, they need to impress our peers in their role as referees, journal editors, and members of conference committees. Does better writing help our papers make it past these gatekeepers? In this study, we estimate the effect of writing quality by comparing how 30 economists judge the quality of papers written by PhD students in economics. Each economist judged five papers in their original version and five different papers that had been language edited. No economist saw both versions of the same paper. Our results show that writing matters. Compared to the original versions, economists judge edited versions as higher quality; they are more likely to accept edited versions for a conference; and they believe that edited versions have a better chance of being accepted at a good journal. |

| Abstract: | The purpose of the chapter is to challenge two widely-held myths about Ricardo's theory of money and to suggest another view in which the relationship between the value and the quantity of money owes nothing to a commodity-theory of money (Section 2) or to the Quantity Theory of Money (Section 3) but puts the market price of the standard of money centre-stage (Section 4). Ricardo's applied pronouncements on money then appear as direct consequences of this theory (Section 5). |

| Abstract: | L'ouvrage « 3 siècles de pensée économique, histoire comparative et illustrée » (chez JDH) a été écrit pour rendre hommage aux enseignements d'André Segura (enseignant chercheur à l'Université de Toulon). L'ouvrage reconstitue sous forme de synthèse les cours qu'il a donnés dans les années 80 à 2010 tout en ajoutant plusieurs références (Cartelier, Deleplace, Rebeyrol, Diatkine, et des réflexions personnelles). C'est pourquoi cet ouvrage lui est dédié. Dans ce fichier, je propose un chapitre « inédit » du livre sur la base d'une problématique posée par André Segura dans un article publié dans la Revue Française d'Economie dans les années 90 : la synthèse post-classique ou marxo-keynésienne est-elle possible ? J'apporte dans ce chapitre un éclairage complémentaire à celui fourni par André Segura dans son article de recherche. Ce chapitre inédit a été relu et commenté par André. Néanmoins, toute erreur éventuellement présente dans le texte ne relève que de ma responsabilité. |
