Notes on the French School of Regulation

ABSTRACT

This paper reviews the contributions of the Regulation School. From the seminal works of Michel Aglietta, the paper discusses the innovations of this approach and the responses that this school gives for the following topics: the passage from growth to stagnation; the difference in prosperity in different countries on the same historical moment; the ever-changing characteristics of crisis. The concepts of regulation and crisis themselves are analyzed and some critics are also made.
