Ambroise Croizat

Summary

Dominique Pagani discusses Ambroise Croizat mainly during his 2018 meeting with Bernard Friot. The discussion covers his pension reform, which sets a replacement rate and a legal retirement age1. It also covers family allowances, which Croizat turns, according to Friot's reading, into a wage disconnected from employment2. Pagani draws a methodological remark from this: Croizat does not say that parents work, but he acts as if they do. For him, this shows that acts come before representations3. In later sessions, between 2020 and 2021, the name comes up more briefly to refer to the architect of the social gains of the Liberation: Social Security and pay-as-you-go pensions4. He links these gains of 1945-1947 to a legacy now being dismantled5. These mentions appear even in the "Musicosophie" sessions, as digressions6.
