These will enhance pro-environmental behaviour which is fit for socio-political and economic activities for sustainability.

Cet interview donne la parole à Jean-François Ponsot, l'un des coordinateurs de l'ouvrage "L'économie post-keynésienne. Histoire, théories et politiques" (Seuil, 2018), première synthèse en français sur le post-keynésianisme. Jean-François Ponsot revient d'abord sur les apports des post-keynésiens, notamment sur leur conception du chômage et de la relance économique.

Enfin, il explique en quoi les fondements du post-keynésianisme sont plus progressistes que populistes.
