Approches hétérodoxes en économie publique

Articulated with the new classical macro-economics and monetarism, public economics turned in a dominant orthodoxy of it's disciplinary field. It has caused the ousting of works often developed under original national traditions, such as French economics of public finances. The financial crisis, the great recession and public debt crisis, however, indicated the serious failures of economic orthodoxy. It also have demonstrated the inability of the economic orthodoxy to provide any other remedy that long series of structural adjustments that have amplified the recession. Having suffered the domination of the standard way of thinking, heterodoxies therefore seem to have new empirical and theoretical open spaces for a reappropriation of the problems associated with tax and macroeconomic policies. This is the objective of heterodox approaches in public economics which brings together contributions on the crucial themes of debt, the role of public spending in the economic dynamics, taxation, changes in the welfare state and finally the definition and the implementation of unconventional public policies, while respecting the diversity of schools and heterodox methods.
