Dictionary of conventions : Around the work of Olivier Favereau.

Summary How to think about the economy differently? For thirty years, researchers from different disciplines have been participating in the development of an economics of conventions that constructs a new representation of the economy. The 75 authors in this book provide an exceptional insight into this approach, based on the work of one of its main architects, Olivier Favereau. More than any other economist, he has worked throughout his career on interdisciplinary exchanges to renew our understanding of economic phenomena. The various entries in this non-standard dictionary discuss, use or extend this work. The reader thus has an unparalleled introduction to contemporary debates on the evolution of economic knowledge: the new representations of the firm, work, finance and more generally of economic behavior and its political dimension.
