«L'homme économique» is Christian Laval's essay on the roots of neoliberalism, published by Gallimard in paperback (396 pages, in French).
Christian Laval analyzes neoliberalism not only as an economic doctrine, but as an anthropological conception rooted in the history of Western thought. The author shows how the figure of homo economicus —the individual who acts according to personal interest— has spread beyond economics to shape society, language and the body.
The work belongs to Gallimard's NRF Essais collection and its first edition dates from 2007.
A work aimed at those interested in political philosophy, economics and the history of ideas, particularly in the critique of neoliberalism.
