About

Stéphane Lalut — Economist, independent researcher and essayist. Author of the framework of anthropy.

Stéphane Lalut is an economist, independent researcher and essayist. He develops the framework of anthropy — the hypothesis that social systems displace disorder rather than resolve it — through a series of working papers and three published books. He is also the author of two further books, devoted to the history of ideas and to literature.

European marketing management, public-sector consulting, international entrepreneurship: that path came before the research and the writing. It explains the method — analytical rigour, and close attention to the concrete mechanisms by which a cost changes hands.
