The democratic firm L'entreprise démocratiqueRevue de Philosophie Économique 9 (1): 3-9. 2008.The idea of workplace democracy is not on the political agenda. And yet, democratic firms exist in various forms in today's economy. The idea and the practice is not only economically and philosophically challenging. The worries to which it responds are not bew either. This is well illustrated by John Stuart Mill's conjecture of the end of the wage-earner system, dating back to more than one century ago.

8A Justiça Intergeracional e a Metáfora do Refúgio de MontanhaPhilosophica: International Journal for the History of Philosophy 19 (38): 121-141. 2011.In this paper, we explore the extent to which mountain huts and rules imposed on their users can provide metaphoric inspiration to the exploration of issues of an intergenerational justice. We indicate features made salient by the metaphor. We focus in particular on the content of an intergenerational golden rule and on cleronomic justice. We also explain why the absence of a warden matters. Other absent features make salient other dimensions that are central to intergenerational justice. Specia…Read more

101Theories of intergenerational justice: a synopsisSurv. Perspect. Integr. Environ. Soc 1 39-49. 2008.In this paper, the author offers a synoptic view of different theories of intergenerational justice, along two dimensions (savings/dissavings) and three modalities (prohibition, authorisation, obligation).

88Are generational savings unjust?Politics, Philosophy and Economics 6 (2): 193-217. 2007.In this article, we explore the implications of a Rawlsian theory for intergenerational issues. First, we confront Rawls's way of locating his `just savings' principle in his Theory of Justice with an alternative way of doing so. We argue that both sides of his intergenerational principle, as they apply to the accumulation phase and the steady-state stage, can be dealt with on the bases, respectively, of the principle of equal liberty and of the difference principle. We then proceed by focusing …Read more

Should Rawlsian support copyright? How can a concern for incentives be taken into account …Read more
