L’Imposture Economique Hits #10 in France

Flattr this!

Bra­vo to Les Edi­tions de l’Atelier, the pub­lish­ers of L’Im­pos­ture Economique (the French trans­la­tion of Debunk­ing Eco­nom­ics), who have achieved the seem­ing­ly impos­si­ble: L’Im­pos­ture Economique entered the Top Ten out of all books on Ama­zon France yes­ter­day (Decem­ber 4th 2014). It was the top-sell­ing non-fic­tion book, out­rank­ing even Piket­ty’s Cap­i­tal (as I write, L’Im­pos­ture is #12 in books while Cap­i­tal is #53).

I don’t expect it to last at that rank­ing, but I did­n’t expect it to achieve that posi­tion in the first place, so it feels great to see it there. Con­grat­u­la­tions again to Les Edi­tions de l’Atelier, and to Gael Giraud who took the ini­tia­tive in arrang­ing its trans­la­tion into French.

About Steve Keen

I am Professor of Economics and Head of Economics, History and Politics at Kingston University London, and a long time critic of conventional economic thought. As well as attacking mainstream thought in Debunking Economics, I am also developing an alternative dynamic approach to economic modelling. The key issue I am tackling here is the prospect for a debt-deflation on the back of the enormous private debts accumulated globally, and our very low rate of inflation.
