:"...car enfin, ce Tiers Monde ignoré, exploité, méprisé comme le Tiers Etat, veut lui aussi, être quelque chose" :"...because at the end this ignored, exploited, scorned Third World like the Third Estate, wants to become something too". In using the expression Third World here he was paraphrasing Sieyès 's famous sentence about the Third Estate during the French Revolution . Sauvy assimilated then the capitalist First world to the nobility and the communist Second World to the clergy. BIOGRAPHY Born in Villeneuve De La Raho (Eastern Pyrenean) and educated at the École Polytechnique , Alfred Sauvy worked at the Statistique Générale Of France until 1937. In 1938, Paul Reynaud called him to deal with economical issues until the war arrived in 1939. During the occupation Sauvy participated in the edition of the ''Bulletin Rouge-Brique'', a non-censored pamphlet. After the war, De Gaulle named him as the General Secretary to the Family and the Population but Sauvy decided to turn itself towards demography. He became director of the INED (National Institute of Demographic Studies) and simultaneously represented France to the commission of Statistics and Population of the United Nations . He wrote for '' Le Monde '' until his decease in October 1990. HIS WORK
