Abstract

This article traces the evolution of the Post-Keynesian school in France since the mid-1970s. Starting out inauspiciously from a Keynesian tradition of little influence, the school’s growth was slowed by strong competition from other schools (both orthodox and heterodox) in a context of limited recruitment of permanent researchers at universities. Despite this, some momentum has been built up in France since 2000s. Today, the French Post-Keynesian school is well structured, internationally integrated, and capable of hybridizing with certain heterodox schools. Nevertheless, the trend remains shaky.
