TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2019.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : This article documents a project that aims to render all the opaque and elusive public information that constitutes our social tax system accessible to all, through common digital software. In relation to the existing literature, we show how it was necessary to carry out technical, cognitive and institutional work in order to develop this free software. A number of issues were encountered during the process, which we have categorized. We conclude with the hypothesis that Openfisca represents an original institutional experiment, led by political hackers at the margins of the administration, on a particular mode of existence of the State vis-à-vis common digital platforms.
