    A la vista del catálogo de nuestro Instituto Nacional de Estadística, quién dejará de sorprenderse al descubrir entre las colecciones auspiciadas por el INED francés una dedicada a los Clásicos de la economía y la población, con cuidadísimas ediciones de Condorcet, Süssmilch, Quesnay, Graunt... A esta colección se suma ahora, bajo la dirección de Eric Brian, otra serie de Estudios e investigaciones históricas, cuyo primer volumen comentamos aquí. Matemáticas y acción política, compilado por Thierry Martin, es, además, una excelente representación de los trabajos que en Francia se desarrollan en torno a la matemática social desde múltiples enfoques.
