Thinking about Sustainability à la Façon de Fitoussi

Robert Solow

Chapter 3 in Fruitful Economics, 2015, pp 73-86 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Jean-Paul Fitoussi is an old and valued friend, and that is reason enough for me to welcome this celebration of his work. In truth, he has been more than a friend; he has been a dependable ally in controversies over issues ranging from the proper teaching of economics to major questions of broad macroeconomic policy. Naturally, I had intended to be at the conference and dinner in his honor; but, as I sit down to write, it looks as if my own limitations and the health of my wife will mean that the text will have to stand in for me. Quite possibly, French literary theory will take the replacement of a person by a text as a sign of progress.
