Résumé
In this article, I show how it is possible to create convincing alternative models in economics. I identify two criteria of relevance : the identification of the causes of the studied phenomena (Lawson) and the dropping out of methodological individualism (Combemale). To find models which match these two criteria, I use Weber’s « idealtypes » which, I think, are often misunderstood. I conclude by illustrating the fruitfulness of this method by mentioning two current French heterodox schools, the Regulation School and the Convention School.
