Abstract
[fre] Economie Rurale, N° 63, a publié un article de J. M.1 Boussard, intitulé « Réflexions sur l'objet de l'Economie rurale » dont la lecture ne saurait laisser indifférent. Sur bien des points de principe, les divergences qui. se manifestent parmi les économistes ruraux sont exprimées par Boussard dans des termes que nous aurions tenu à relever si nous n'avions donné au même moment, aux Annales de l'Institut National Agronomique, un manuscrit intitulé « Contribution de la Sociologie à l'Economie Rurale » rassemblant aussi quelques réflexions sur la nature de notre discipline. Il .nous est apparu plus utile de verser au dossier, avec l'autorisation des Annales, la presque totalité de cet article. Si Boussard voit l'économie rurale comme la pensée économique appliquée à l'agriculture, nous pensons que cette économie rurale est une biologie appliquée aux phénomènes sociaux dont la pensée économique n'explore que des aspects limités et trop souvent abusivement simplifiés. Ceci est important non seulement pour établir la problématique de notre discipline mais pour assurer la validité des applications des résultats de la recherche. [eng] In « Economie Rurale » n° 63, an article from Boussard was devoted to : « Thoughts on the purpose of farm, economics ». Such article Was highly provocative. On many theorical axpects the large differences of: opinion between farm economists are discribed by Boussard in such terms that we have should react immediately if we have had not at the same date, send for publication to the « Annales de l'Institut National Agronomique » a paper entitled: a Contribution de la Sociologie à l'Economie Rurale in which some thoughs on the nature of our discipline were included. It seems to us more useful , with the agreement of the a Annales, to reproduce practically all this article as a paper, to be put on the table. Boussard considers farm economics as « economic thought applied to agriculture », we do think that agricultural economics is a biology , applied to social facts, of which economic thought explores only limited and, too often over simplified aspects. Such approach is of importance not only from a theorical point of view but also to ensure the validity of applying the findings of our research. .
