Abstract

The aim of this contribution is to exhibit the operational nature of the Austrian analyses of institutions, particularly those of Lachmann (1994; 1986; 1978; 1977; 1976; 1970). The first section briefly discuss the main features of the Austrian analysis of the market process with the aim of highlighting the necessary irruption of the institutional component. The second section aims at exhibiting the particularities of the Lachmannian analysis of institutional change. The third section proposes to make use of the Lachmannian analytical framework in order to interpret the contemporary transformations of the market economies. I particularly show the great benefit of such a framework in order to, on one side, offer some explanations of the recent financial crisis faced by the emerging economies, and on the other side, to understand the specificity as well as the coherence of the Chinese economic transition.
