Sur le blog de Michel Abhervé pour Alternatives économiques. Alors qu'il se confirme que Les données mensuelles sur l'emploi sont publiées de plus en plus tardivement puisque ce 16 juillet ne sont pas encore parus les chiffres du mois d'Avril, il faut aussi constater que les Rendez vous de Grenelle, instaurés par Muriel Pénicaud pour un échange régulier sur les données de l'emploi ne sont plus à l'ordre du jour.

Where I'm Coming From
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Jay Cross[Edit][Delete]: Where I'm Coming From, Internet Time [Edit][Delete] August 29, 2006
My comment was simply swallowed up by Jay Cros's website; maybe it was accepted, maybe it was filtered, maybe it just disappeared (please, people, if you are modertaing comments, add a notice to your website, and if your system filters spam, at least let commentators know - I spent way too much time today trying to post comments on people's websites).

Dans Pact for Impact, la dimension collective tente de ne pas disparaitre derrière l'entrepreneur
Sur le blog de Michel Abhervé pour Alternatives économiques. Lors de la rencontre internationale Pact for Impact la phase institutionnelle (voir Ouverture de Pact for impact à Paris le 10 juillet 2019, ou le confusionnisme entretenu des termes sous influence de la langue anglaise) a été suivi d'une longue après midi où une succession d'intervenants, élus, organisations philantropiques, responsables de fondations, experts ..., et même quelques entrepreneurs sociaux, a expliqué, souvent de façon brillante, à quel point l'entreprise sociale et l'entrepreneur social apportent la solution pour rendre un monde que les excès de la finance ont fragilisé meilleur ou simplement vivable, pour peu que soit assuré au capital investi une rémunération au moins égale à celle que permet l'économie capitaliste classique.

Steering a course through the chaos
It’s hard to remember a time when universities faced so many unknowns. Will the Augar Report recommendations ever become reality? How much money will the sector have? What will Brexit mean? Will the economy nosedive? What kind of government will we have by Christmas. More...
Unconditional offers: Taking your foot off the gas in the last few months of school is the sort of decision you take as a child
Unconditional offers: Taking your foot off the gas in the last few months of school is the sort of decision you take as a child and regret as an adult
Our universities are among the best in the world because they enjoy such high levels of autonomy, including over admissions. But we are in the midst of a battle to protect that autonomy, and the continuing expansion of “conditional unconditional” offers is making it harder to win. More...
