Abstract: Without any doubt, François Perroux is one of the most important European economists of the 20st century. Today, in English-speaking countries, François Perroux is recognized mostly for his original contributions in the field of spatial economics and economics of development. However, taking into account the variety of his contributions, Perroux deserves certainly more attention. This paper underlines a less well-known aspect of Perroux‟s works: his illuminating views on asymmetry, domination and power which can be considered a source of works carried out in this field half a century later, such as the American realist and neo-realist approaches to power or the concept of structural power developed by Susan Strange.
