Abstract: We attempt to deepen the reflection about the economic thought in relation with the present climate and energetic difficulties. We focuse on several dogmas of this knowledge which are bad adapted to the contemporary world. - Marginal reasonning, extrapolation and the problem of limits - Cost Benefit Analysis - amorality vs scientificity We explicit five principles that we show strongly questionable - innocence of the consumer - immunity of the shareholder - equality before randomness - economy sums up the competition - ability to represent the future. We conclude by a plea for making more place to the politics.
