Critique épistémologique de la défense hayékienne du libéralisme économique

Abstract

[eng] There are many ways of defending economic liberalism, but Hayek's is a very particular one. He pretends that it exists only one objective set of economic laws. For him, liberalism obeys these laws and thus brings out an order, while socialism or any kind of mterventionism come to disorder by trying unfortunately to break away from them. This paper does not demonstrate that the set of laws proposed by Hayek cannot give an order, but it shows more fundamentally that Hayek's idea of objective law is an epistemological fake. [fre] Le libéralisme économique peut être défendu de multiples manières. La défense hayékienne est remarquable dans la mesure où elle prétend se fonder épistémolo- giquement. Il existerait des lois économiques objectives. Le libéralisme respecterait ces lois et aboutirait à un ordre. Au contraire, le socialisme ou plus généralement l'interventionnisme conduirait au désordre en tentant de les contourner. Dans cet article, nous nous attacherons à montrer que l'idée d'objectivité à la base de l'argumentation d'Hayek est épistémologiquement contestable.
