Career

Paul Boccara was trained as an economist, mastered the depths of the bourgeois profession as well as the summit of political economy. In addition to studying economics, there was also a study of history and anthropology . Three topics preoccupied him and make up his impact: In the 1970s he was the main founder of the discussion about state monopolitical capitalism. He later brought this analysis together with the crisis analysis and, at the beginning of the decade, presented a two-volume work on the accumulation process of the present - loaded with theory and looking at today's conditions. This was connected with the growing interest in questions of anthroponomy, which he focuses on in his Nine Lessons .

His son Frédéric Boccara is the director of the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies .
