Abstract

[eng] Economic and Financial Education : a Matter of General Interest more than a Matter of Politics, Consumer Protection or Market Efficiency.. The French view of world events, strongly tinged with humanism and a belief in the primacy of politics, has long been an obstacle to the development of a financial and economic culture and priority has been given information rather than on education. But in a globalized world with increasingly more complex issues, economic and financial education is becoming more and more obvious as the key to providing everyone with the means to not only understand their environment, but also to enable them to make decisions and plan for their future. Economic and financial education does indeed have the look of a matter of general interest, with both an individual as well as collective dimension. Raising the level of the financial and economic education in France should translate into a strong implication of our citizens in this debate but on a rational rather than emotional base. . Classification JEL : A10, A20. . . [fre] La vision française de la marche du monde, fortement teintée d’humanisme et de foi dans la primauté du politique, a longtemps constitué un frein au développement de la culture économique et financière et la priorité a davantage été donnée à l’information qu’à l’éducation. Mais dans un monde globalisé et complexe, l’éducation économique et financière s’impose comme une nécessité pour doter chacun d’un minimum de clefs, non seulement pour comprendre son environnement mais aussi prendre ses décisions et se projeter dans l’avenir. L’éducation économique et financière a les allures d’une question d’intérêt général, avec une dimension individuelle et une dimension collective et doit être abordée sous un angle rationnel et non émotionnel. . Classification JEL : A10, A20.
