Le mythe de l’émergence. Réalités des dynamiques externes et internes des processus d’accumulation brésilien et chinois : comptes rendus d'habilitation à diriger des recherches

In order to develop the research carried out since my PhD thesis, defended in 2008 at the University Paris I Pantheon Sorbonne, this habilitation thesis puts into question the concept of emergence, used so abusively by the media and many economists since the 2000s. In addition to continuing my research about the internal fragilities faced by countries like China or Brazil, with an analysis of the evolution of their productive apparatus through the Marxist thesis of the falling rate of profit, I was led to study the influence of these difficulties on the carry-trade phenomenon, i.e. the reciprocal links between these difficulties and the international flows of speculative capital. Finally, the solutions proposed to face the current crisis of emergence, such as the reshaping of social security systems, the reorientation of these economies towards their internal market and a better international integration enabled by the development of renewable energies, are more widely criticized in my latest work.
