Economie et développement.. Sujets épistémologiques de John Kenneth Galbraith

Without denying the importance of specialisation, the epistemological analysis sustaining J.K. Galbraith?s demonstrations in the New Industrial State, shows the necessity to break the partitions which characterize economics and to observe the facts in their complete relations. This process leads to demonstrate the hidden dominance of the Classic theory and to come back to more important economic debates which opposed A. Smith and the Mercantilists, based on an essential perception of the merchant Economy. The real economy is at the same time mercantilist and anarchical. Governements have a contrary vision of this reality: massive money creation, badly managed, lead to all the economic diseases, which primilarily affect the weakest parts of the Society.
