La science économique comme idéologie. La science de gestion comme viatique de l'actionnaire

Abstract

International audience ; Since the generalisation of the market economy, economic science has sounded the death knell for political economy. In this context, the market was omnipotent and the State had to concentrate its activity on the organisation of a regalian domain, often fluctuating and rather regressing according to private interests. Management science itself gave tools to companies within the framework of an economic system that advocated individual interest as the determining objective for each of the economic actors.

The profoundly political and social character of a globalized economy is highlighted by this crisis, which is characterized by the violence of relations between states and between citizens. ; La science économique comme idéologie La science de gestion comme viatique de l'actionnaire Éric Brunat et Jacques Fontanel Revue Marché et Organisations n°41 2021 Depuis la généralisation de l'économie de marché, la science économique a sonné le glas de l'économie politique.
