Abstract

L'économie n'est pas neutre. Ce livre soutient qu'une théorie est toujours le produit d'une vision particulière du monde ; le sérieux des chercheurs n'y change rien. L'auteur développe ses arguments en mobilisant l'histoire des doctrines économiques, les théories actuellement à l'œuvre et les pratiques contemporaines de l'économie de marché. En revendiquant sa neutralité, la science économique dominante en est arrivée à légitimer les outrances d'un néolibéralisme fauteur de violences sur les individus, l'équilibre social, l'environnement et la démocratie. Mais ce livre ne se contente pas de déconstruire. Il propose des pistes pour libérer l'économie de son attraction quasi exclusive pour les sciences dures et expérimentales. L'objectif, nous dit l'auteur, est d'arriver à ce que l'économie se nourrisse également de sa proximité féconde avec la philosophie morale et politique. Face aux immenses choix qui se dressent devant nous, la société et les citoyens ont besoin d'être éclairés par les analyses et les théories d'économistes qui assument pleinement leurs visions du monde.
