Abstract

L'économie du bien-être a beaucoup évolué au cours du XXième siècle, jusqu'à entrer, disent certains, dans une impasse qui lui serait fatale. Les controverses sur la possibilité et la pertinence des comparaisons interpersonnelles de bien-être sont réputées permettre d'expliquer cette évolution. Dans cet article, j'oppose à cette lecture standard une autre explication, essentiellement épistémologique et liée à la qualité opérationnelle de l'utilité. Des conséquences importantes en découlent, notamment quant au rôle de l'économie du bien-être dans l'action publique.
