«Pour Piketty» Une nouvelle pensée des Lumières pour les sciences humaines et de gestion

Abstract

The ambition of that paper consists in making managers and management scholars aware of the scientific and social impacts of Piketty’s famous work. Current French-written critical surveys of that work are confronted with a tight analysis of Piketty’s “system”, which leads to some methodological and critical suggestions for management science. Finally, Piketty’s position as to Marxism is precisely specified and articulated on scientific and epistemological bases.
