AN INSIDE VIEW OF A DOMINANT PARA-DIGM: ORTHODOX ECONOMICS SEEN BY ANDRÉ ORLÉAN

摘要

The originality of André Orléans book, L'Empire de valeur - Refonder l'économie (Paris: Seuil 2001), is its invitation to review the underpinnings of the freemarket paradigm in economic theory. It thus brings to light a hidden, original sin that keeps this paradigm's tenants from understanding the current financial crisis, namely their belief in the objectivity of "value".
