Bertrand de Jouvenel des Ursins, usually known only as Bertrand de Jouvenel (31 October 1903 – 1 March 1987), was a French philosopher, political economist, and futurist. ==Life== Bertrand was the heir of an old family from the French nobility, coming from the Champagne region. He was the son of Henri de Jouvenel and Sarah Boas, the daughter of a Jewish industrialist. Henri divorced Sarah in 1912 to become the second husband of French writer Colette. In 1920, when he was a mere 16, Bertrand began an affair with his stepmother, who was then in her late 40s. The affair ended Colette's marriage and caused a scandal. It lasted until 1924. Some believe Bertrand to be the role model for the title character in Colette's novel ''Chéri'', but in fact she had published about half the book, in serial form, before she and her stepson met for the first time, in the spring of 1920. In the 1930s, he participated in the ''Cahiers Bleus'', the review of Georges Valois' Republican Syndicalist Party. From 1930 to 1934, Jouvenel had an affair with the American war correspondent Martha Gellhorn. They would have married had his wife agreed to a divorce.〔For a detailed account of Jouvenel's affair with Martha Gellhorn see Caroline Moorehead: ''Martha Gellhorn: A Life'', Chatto & Windus, London 2003, ISBN 0-7011-6951-6 (hardback).〕 In his memoirs, ''The Invisible Writing'', Arthur Koestler recalled that in 1934, Jouvenel was among a small number of French intellectuals who promised moral and financial support to the newly established ''Institut pour l'Étude du Fascisme'', a supposedly self-financing enterprise of the Popular Front. Other personalities to offer support were Professor Langevin, the Joliot-Curies, André Malraux, etc.〔Arthur Koestler, ''The Invisible Writing'', Collins and Hamish Hamilton, London 1954. Republished in 1969 by Hutchinson (Danube edition) ISBN 0-09-098030-1. p. 297〕 However, that same year, Jouvenel was impressed by the riot of the antiparliamentary leagues that occurred on 6 February 1934, became disillusioned with traditional political parties and left the Radical Party. He began a paper with Pierre Andreu called ''La Lutte des jeunes'' (The Struggle of the Young) while at the same time contributing to the right wing paper ''Gringoire'', for which he covered the 1935 Nuremberg Congress in Germany where the infamous Nuremberg Laws were passed. He began frequenting royalist and nationalist circles, where he met Henri de Man and Pierre Drieu la Rochelle.〔''Le siècle des intellectuels'' by Michel Winock, ed. Seuil, p. 410.〕 He was in favour of Franco-German rapprochement and created the " Cercle du grand pavois ", which supported the ''Comité France–Allemagne'' (Franco-German Committee). Here he became friends with Otto Abetz, the future German ambassador to Paris during the occupation.〔Bertrand de Jouvenel, Un voyageur dans le siècle (1903–1945), tome 1, éditions Robert Laffont, Paris, 1979〕 In February 1936 he interviewed Adolf Hitler for the journal ''Paris-Midi'', for which he was criticised for being too friendly to the dictator. That same year he joined Jacques Doriot's Parti populaire français (PPF).〔Laurent Kestel, " L'engagement de Bertrand de Jouvenel au PPF de 1936 à 1939, intellectuel de parti et entrepreneur politique ", French Historical Studies, n.30, hiver 2007, pp. 105–125〕 He became the editor in chief of its journal ''L'Émancipation nationale'' (National Emancipation), wherein he supported facsism. He broke with the PPF in 1938 when Doriot supported the Munich Agreement. Jouvenel's mother passionately supported Czechoslovakian independence, and so he began his career as a private secretary to Edvard Beneš, Czechoslovakia's first prime minister. In 1947, along with Friedrich Hayek, Jacques Rueff, and Milton Friedman, he founded the Mont Pelerin Society. Later in life, de Jouvenel established the Futuribles International in Paris. Jouvenel was among the very few French intellectuals to pay respectful attention to the economic theory and welfare economics that emerged during the first half of the 20th century in Austria, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This understanding of economics is shown by his ''The Ethics of Redistribution''. Dennis Hale of Boston College has co-edited two volumes of essays by Jouvenel.〔http://www.bc.edu/schools/cas/polisci/facstaff/hale.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bertrand de Jouvenel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
