Recent months have taught us the importance of the formation of choices and the acceptance of political decisions. Two original approaches are applied here to these topics. Another noteworthy challenge is raised by the health issues that our researchers examine from various perspectives: the history of epidemics, professional illnesses, Obamacare and the links between fertility and growth.
