Clubturgot.com celebrates its 100th issue. Since March 2024, the leading French- and English-language newsletter on economic and financial literature has published over 300 articles, book reviews and tributes to the works of leading economists. Over the weeks, in order to better meet the expectations of their readers, the newsletter’s editors have published their articles first in French and then in English, focusing on the work of theorists and the insights of practitioners in the increasingly numerous and complex fields of economics and finance.Every week, in just a few minutes, the 30,000 readers of clubturgot.com are thus able to learn about the key economic and financial events of the day.
The authors of the articles published on clubturgot.com are Turgot Prize winners, representatives of partner associations and members of the Club Turgot, which pre-selects the books submitted to a jury of distinguished figures chaired by Jean-Claude Trichet. Since the Turgot Prize was established in 1987, the Club has read around 5,000 books and reviewed nearly 4,000, and the jury has awarded, first in the halls of the Senate and then at Bercy, 39 Grand Prizes, 41 Jury Prizes, 102 honourable mentions and 120 Special Prizes (for collective works, educational books, French-language books, young authors, the DFCG and AF2i). Together with Prize winners brought together in the Cercle Turgot, the Club Turgot has also published 22 collective works on key economic and managerial issues. The reviews of the award-winning books have been compiled into three volumes: La pensée économique française (French Economic Thought, 2 volumes) and Les leçons de Turgot et de Smith (The Lessons of Turgot and Smith).
