In 1990 the Department of Graphic Arts at the Louvre made their holdings available to guest curators for a program called Parti Pris, or "Taking Sides". In this program, major cultural figures outside of the discipline of art history organized exhibitions based on the department's collection. Within its first several years, this novel collaboration produced exhibitions curated by philosopher Jacques Derrida and filmmaker Peter Greenaway. Jean Starobinski, noted literary critic and intellectual historian from the University of Geneva, was selected as the third curator in the program. In his exhibition and accompanying essay, Starobinski explores the theme of largesse in its broadest sense. Arguing that gift giving and receiving are fundamental human gestures, he examines graphic and textual representations from the offering of the apple to Eve to Salome's gift of the head of John the Baptist, from the giving of laws to the gift of death. Charity, the poetic gift, and the benefits of Fortune all play a role in Starobinski's extended meditation on the act of donation. Lavishly illustrated and dazzling in its scope and imagination, Largesse is an exemplar of the rich intellectual work that can result from crossing disciplinary boundaries and considering history as a dense network of themes and allusions.

Auduna (TM)s Story tells of an Icelandic farmhand who buys a polar bear in Greenland and gives it to the Danish king. It is a subtle tale of complex social action worthy of the fine anthropological writing on gift-exchange; its treatment of face-to-face interaction a match for Erving Goffman.

The U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have been exuberantly printing money for much of the last decade, with treasuries and finance ministries vigorously ladling it out. Yet only recently has all that money put inflation fears back in the headlines. This informative and important book by economist and investor Richard P. Mattione highlights the paths the monies have taken, and shows how too generous a Federal Reserve policy is spilling over into inflation and into financial market excesses. Quotes from, among others, the original Keynesian, an American president, and a 19th century stock market manipulator will guide the reader's journey through macroeconomic policy and its so far modest effects on inflation. The trail then turns to the financial markets where the Fed largesse has been spilling over. Not just old-style bonds and stocks, but moon shot memes, SPACs, crypto- and digital currencies will all be visited.
