Don Lavoie

Don Lavoie (avec Pete Boettke)

Don Lavoie (4 avril 1951 - 6 November 2001) était un économiste de l'école autrichienne d'économie. Il travailla au Cato Institute. Il a écrit un livre remarquable sur le calcul économique en économie socialiste, intitulé National Economic Planning: What Is Left? (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Ballinger Publishing Company, 1985). Son parcours intellectuel est influencé par Friedrich Hayek, Michael Polanyi et Ludwig Lachmann.

Parmi ses étudiants, il y a de nombreux économistes de l'école autrichienne : Peter Boettke, David Prychitko, Steve Horwitz, Ralph Rector, Emily Chamlee-Wright, Howie Baetjer et Virgil Storr.

Don Lavoie fut le co-fondateur d'un centre interdisciplinaire connu sous le nom de Programme d'apprentissage social et organisationnel (Program on Social & Organizational Learning).

En tant que chercheur, il étudia la philosophie des sciences sociales (spécialement l'application de l'herméneutique à la science économique) et les systèmes économiques comparatifs (spécialement les théories marxiennes du socialisme).

A la fin de sa carrière, achevée trop tôt par la maladie, il travailla sur la philosophie et la pratique du discours au travers de la médiation électronique. Il avait compris l'importance pour les organisations d'adopter de nouvelles façons de cultiver des environnements d'apprentissage interactifs (groupe de travail, hypertexte, logiciels de communication)] afin d'améliorer les processus communicatifs. Il montra la nature fondamentale des processus d'apprentissages sociaux, que ce soit dans les échanges de marché (conversations verbales) ou dans les dialogues basés sur l'hypertexte.

Dans le livre Culture and Enterprise: The Development, Representation and Morality of Business écrit avec Emily Chamlee-Wright, ils prennent en compte l'importance du rôle de la culture dans le développement économique d'une nation.
