Undemocratic and Unequal: Fitoussi’s Critique of Europe’s Institutions

Edmund Phelps

Chapter 2 in Fruitful Economics, 2015, pp 57-72 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It’s a delight and a great honor to have the opportunity to speak on this fine occasion about the life work of a very dear friend of mine and a brilliant economist whom we all admire: Jean-Paul Fitoussi. My wife, Viviana, and I became close friends of him and his wife Annie — also brilliant but much wittier than her husband — from the first time we met in Fiesole some 30 years ago. We soon embarked on a book together, La Crise en Europe, and I soon became a hanger-on at Science Po and the OFCE watching Jean-Paul Fitoussi’s rise.
