Réflexions en guise de synthèse

Économie rurale, 1978, vol. 124

Abstract: The aim of economics is not to plan society (no science could). Its aim is to give rational coherence to the various plans that societies produce. Our societies are changing and all have both a new plan and an old one. In order to make this new plan coherent, economics turn first to ecology which gives information about the non-human environment. It then turns to the social sciences which gives little information. Finally it turns towards the various branches of biology which, in their attempt to provide data, gradually make up a new anthropology.
