Franck Vivien, « Economics approached through the prism of the Groupe des Dix: Bioeconomy revisited », Natures Sciences Sociétés, ID : 10670/1.d9bf33...
The Groupe des Dix met from 1968 to 1976. Many of its members’ writings deal with economic issues. At the crossroads of science and politics, one of the main themes of reflection of this group attached to interdisciplinarity focused on rethinking the notion of development by including this socioeconomic dynamic in the prolongation of biological evolution, by highlighting its multidimensionality and the need to link this objective with that of environmental protection. Some of the members of the Groupe des Dix, such as René Passet and Joël de Rosnay, went even further by redefining economic science in the light of the teachings of life sciences. While they both call for the emergence of a bioeconomy, we show that it has quite different meanings in the writing of these authors.
