Following the Cercle des Economistes’ proposal for a contribution, Francis Munier (with Gaël Brulé of the University of Geneva) have published an article “Does innovation bring happiness?” in the third issue of the Revue MERMOZ entitled “Innover sans fin?” – july 2024: https://lecercledeseconomistes.fr/formats/publications/innover-sans-fin/
This request for contributions follows the publication of their book Happiness, Technology and Innovation (Springer, 2021): https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-82685-7
Through some fifteen contributions, this issue looks at the limits of innovation and its finalities. Contributors include François Hollande (former French President), Philippe Aghion (economist), Yasmine Belkaid (Director General of the Institut Pasteur) and Geneviève Fioraso (former Minister of Higher Education and Research).
