JOSÉ LE DENTU MEMENTO DU BRIDGE MODERNE FAYARD @ Librairie Arthème Fayard, 1971. INTRODUCTION ET MODE D'EMPLOI Ce Mémento est l'analyse, sous une forme schématique et très complète, des Enchères Naturelles et des conventions les plus modernes. Ce n'est pas un livre à lire d'un trait, mais une petite encyclo- pédie dont l'ordre logique, qui apparaît immédiatement dans la table des matières (p. XI), peut servir de guide à tout enseigne- ment. C'est aussi un véritable dictionnaire auquel un index alphabétique permet de se référer. Ce Mémento du bridge moderne, fruit de dizaines d'années d'expériences et d'analyses, est le résumé le plus perfectionné qu'on puisse trouver. Aucune convention valable n'est omise. Même lorsque son usage est à déconseiller, il est bon de savoir qu'elle existe, ne serait-ce que pour pouvoir se défendre contre elle. La plupart des grands principes qui régissent les enchères ont été créés et développés par Ely Culbertson et par Pierre Albarran, deux grands pionniers du bridge moderne. Mais tout évolue et il était indispensable d'apporter des améliorations, même aux règles les plus courantes. Ce petit ouvrage est donc la synthèse de tout ce que chacun de nous, débutant ou champion, peut avoir besoin de connaître s'il veut progresser dans l'art des annonces et du jeu de la carte.

  • Entertaining Beliefs in Economic Mobility
    Entertaining Beliefs in Economic Mobility Eunji Kim† Abstract Americans have long believed in upward mobility and the narrative of the American Dream. Even in the face of rising income inequality and substantial empirical evidence that eco- nomic mobility has declined in recent decades, many Americans remain convinced of the prospects for upward mobility. What explains this disconnect? I argue that Americans’ media diets play an important role in explaining this puzzle. Specifically, contemporary Americans are watching a record number of entertainment TV programs that emphasize “rags-to-riches” narratives. I demonstrate that such shows have become a ubiquitous part of the media landscape over the last two decades. National surveys as well as online and lab- in-the-field experiments show that exposure to these programs increases viewers’ beliefs in the American Dream and promotes internal attributions of wealth. Media exemplars present in what Americans are watching instead of news can powerfully distort economic perceptions and have important implications for public preferences for redistribution.
