Abstract
Réfléchir en économiste sur la transition écologique c'est, inévitablement, s'interroger sur la nature et les sources de la croissance, sur les conditions du bien-être individuel et collectif, sur la rationalité des comportements dans la perspective d'énoncer des conditions de viabilité de cette transition et de faisabilité du nouveau régime de développement. La transition écologique n'est autre qu'une nouvelle rupture, la conséquence d'une nouvelle innovation dont l'économie industrielle de marché est coutumière avec cette différence, cependant, que la survie de l'espèce humaine est en jeu. La thèse qui est défendue ici est qu'il ne peut y avoir de croissance et plus généralement d'activité humaine sans atteinte aux ressources primaires disponibles et qu'il n'existe pas d'équilibre de croissance nulle ou de croissance "verte". En revanche, il est possible de concevoir un modèle institutionnel qui minimise les dommages économiques et environnementaux. Ce modèle donne une place essentielle à une rationalité procédurale et au jeu des intelligences collectives organisées pour synchroniser de multiples horloges, faire valoir des formes de prudence et ainsi faire face à l'incertitude radicale qui pèse sur les technologies et les marchés futurs.
