Conversation on repugnant markets, in French: Quand la science économique sauve des vies, conversation avec Alvin Roth, prix Nobel d’économie 2012

An account of my brief interview with The Conversation is published in both English and French.  It mostly concerned repugnant markets.  Here it is in French:
Quand la science économique sauve des vies, conversation avec Alvin Roth, prix Nobel d’économie 2012

Google Translate: "When economics saves lives, talk with Alvin Roth, 2012 Nobel Prize for Economics"

The interview was conducted in English (at the ESA meeting in Dijon), and appears in French translation.  For some reason, Google Translate translates the English word "repugnant" from the  translated French "répugnante" sometimes as "disgusting" and sometimes as "repulsive," both of which make the GT English translation hard for me to read...


And here it is in English, easier for me to read (although for some reason the editors have inserted an odd statement about the legality of same sex marriage in the U.S., which is now in fact legal in all fifty states, following a Supreme Court ruling...)
