TY - BOOK AU - Brisset,Nicolas TI - From one convention to another: When rationality “performs” the real PY - 2015///. N1 - 79 N2 - This article deals with the idea of the performativity of economics.

We show that performativity could be seen as the translation of a scientific convention into the social world. We demonstrate that such a translation needs the scientific concept to take a peculiar form: an empirical one. We study the example of the performativity of economic rationality, which is now a central concept of a new kind of public policy: “nudge” economics UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-revue-de-philosophie-economique-2014-2-page-69?lang=en ER -
