Epilogue: The Leadership of Jean-Paul Fitoussi

Abstract

I have known Jean-Paul Fitoussi for more than 30 years — and as a close friend. I am ready, therefore, to dismiss my claim of being entirely objective about this great guy, but non-objectivity of a belief does not, as any epistemologist knows, imply that the conviction is untrue. I do believe that Fitoussi is a natural leader of thought, who has initiated so many enquiries and lines of investigation that it is hard for us, who have been exposed to his ideas and analyzes, to guess what our understanding of the contemporary world would have been but for his role in influencing our thought.
