présentée au séminaire du Centre Walras-Pareto de l'université de Lausanne, puis au séminaire du centre de sociologie de l'Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestao, de l'Université Technique de Lisbonne.Je remercie les organisateurs de ces séminaires, Pascal Bridel et José Maria Carvalho Ferreira, et les participants pour leurs remarques et suggestions.Je remercie également Isabelle This-Saint-Jean pour ses commentaires incisifs. «[…]it is by no means certain that closer cooperation, so often clamored for by laymen who expect great things from 'cross-fertilization' with a certainty untroubled by professional competence, would have been an unmixed blessing.For it could certainly not have been brought net gains because there would have been some loss of that efficiency which is the result of strict or even narrow specialization.This holds even for the division of economics and sociology […] As an eminent economist once observed, cross-fertilization might easily result in cross-sterilization » (Schumpeter 1954: 27).
