About

I am a political philosopher interested in political economy and the history of economic thought. My dissertation focuses on neoliberal political theory. I investigate how the neoliberals aimed to develop an approach of government while considering the limits of complexity, pluralism, and the crisis of traditional political concepts (i.e., democracy, representation, etc.). I am currently working on the relations between the rules of the social game and the outcomes emerging from it, using the tools of social choice theory or theories of justice (mostly post-Rawlsian). Two current projects are developed with other members of the network. One, with Thomas Delcey, on Central Banking and European regulation; the other, with Niels Boissonnet, on a model of democratic deliberation, mixing the insights of traditional social choice theory and the problems of deliberative democracy. In the wake of my work on neoliberalism, one of the main issues I intend to explore is how to reshape democratic self-governance to cope with complexity and epistemic limitations (from the ‘elites’ and the people). I use pragmatism (and the contemporary works referring to it) as a resource to deal with this issue.
