L'économie informelle, une bonne « mauvaise pratique » ?

This text is based on the argument that the informal economy is a situation ?as? available than the formal economy and that it can be considered as an emergent institution, a kind of alternative to the official institutions insufficiently institutionalized or in a process of de-institutionalization. We shall underline the ambivalence concerning the informal economy, at the same time appreciated and condemned by the Public authorities or by the authors of reports issued by international authorities and ignored by the theories of organizations. Nevertheless, it is a way of emancipation of its actors.
